Discover the Buzz about Pollinators!

According to the USDA, bees of all sorts pollinate approximately 75 percent of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the United States, and one out of every four bites of food people take is courtesy of bee pollination. And on a global level, 35% of the world’s food crops rely on animal pollination! Without pollinators cacao wouldn’t exist. And the amazing agaves we get tequila from? Well, their primary pollinators are bats and without them it would be really hard to have agaves!
