Happy National Pollinator Week! Pollinators all over the world play a vital role in agriculture. In fact, about 75% of all plants need help from pollinators: that includes foods we eat like fruits, vegetables, and even nuts! Join us this week to learn about some of our top Illinois’s pollinators.

To learn more about pollinators visit IAITC pollination, gardening and farmers markets, and nature lesson folders at Lessons (agintheclassroom.org)
