Bees, butterflies and other little garden creatures that help move pollen from flower to flower are called pollinators.

These little garden friends need ENERGY, just like people do.

Flowers produce a sweet ENERGY DRINK called nectar.

When pollinators visit a flowe for a sip of nectar, pollen gets stuck on their bodies. As they travel to other flowers, the pollen moves with them and can "pollinate" another plant.
