It’s Pollinator Week! Pollination by bees, bats, butterflies, and beetles ensures the continued existence of millions of plant species, and in turn, of most animal species, including humans. More than 150 of our common food crops, from avocados to zucchini, rely directly on pollinators. Through visits to Smithsonian gardens and museums, art projects, games, and daily challenges, campers learn about (and meet a few of) the many pollinators; get insights into their habitats and what can be done do to protect them; and find out how they can get involved in pollinator conservation.
