Now that summer seems to have arrived, both calendar- and temperature-wise, I have been seeing more pollinator activity in the flower garden. Pollination is a valuable and necessary service provided by both managed bees, primarily honeybees, and wild native bees.
Between 75% and 95% of flowering plants worldwide need to be pollinated. Bees accomplish this by moving pollen from one flower to another in order to produce fruit. I cannot imagine what a summer picnic would be like without a ripe tomato, or a Thanksgiving dinner without cranberry sauce.
The Pollinator Network at Cornell University estimates there are a total of 416 bee species in New York. During a survey conducted in 2015, over 110 wild bee species were documented visiting flower blossoms in orchards across New York state.

Jessica Tanner cleans out dead stems from her pollinator garden at her home in Northampton. She leaves the stems all winter so insects can live in them throughout the cold months and hatch in the spring. STAFF PHOTO/CAROL LOLLIS
