We're wrapping up pollinator week with Bee Fly Friday!

Did you know that many flies are pollinators?
On first glance, you may see just another bee, but don't bee fooled! Bee flies are in a whole different family. With just one pair of wings, large eyes, and short legs, bee flies don't quite match up with the bees they are mimicking. That beeing said, they still do the same job of pollination-- transferring pollen on their fuzzy body from flower to flower as they search out nectar.

Next time you see a bee out and about, take a closer look-- it may be a fly in disguise!

It's bird Thursday, and we are highlighting the ruby-throated hummingbird for pollinator week!

Ruby-throated hummingbirds are the most common hummingbird species you'll see in Oklahoma. Males sport the characteristic red throat and females appear slightly more muted in brown-green tones. Highly aggressive, when these birds are not fighting over feeders, they will be out foraging for nectar from natural sources, specializing in red tubular flowers.
