Pollination is one of the most important ecosystem functions, essential for horticultural and agricultural production, in addition to sustaining populations of flowering plants. We undertake management activities specifically designed to produce a wide array of habitats, including the restoration and creation of grasslands which support our native pollinators. Pollinators come in all shapes and sizes, including butterflies, beetles, wasps, and hoverflies, amongst other species of insects, birds, and mammals, but the classic example is the humble bumblebee. Do you know a white-tailed bumblebee from a common carder bumblebee? Use our illustrated guide to ID the different bees you'll see out and about - https://heyor.ca/O4PSAv Photo description A white-tailed bumblebee, expertly illustrated by our Assistant Biodiversity Officer Avery. #Pollinators #Forest #Forestry #Biodiversity #Conservation #Nature #Insects #Ecosystem #Habitats
