Forgotten Pollinators

Season 7, Episode 1 of 13

Pollinators that help produce the food we eat are disappearing, especially hummingbirds, bees, bats, moths and butterflies. About every third bite off your plate is the result of wild pollinators, and commercial agriculture operations (including tomato and apple growers) depend on the help of these often maligned creatures.
