Hi all,
A writer contacted me with some questions about gardening for pollinators in
Nova Scotia. One of her questions was What are some examples of pollinators
in Nova Scotia? Before I answer her, I'd be eternally grateful if the
members of this list would check me to make sure I am giving out accurate
information.
The first example that came to mind was ruby-throated hummingbirds. In
addition to hummingbirds, almost any flying insect that visits flowers is
going to be a pollinator. This would include but would by no means be
limited to butterflies, moths, something like 150 species of bees including
various bumblebees, some flies including ones that look like bees, and very
tiny insects.
Is that statement correct?
Bats are not pollinators here in Nova Scotia-correct? Are any beetles
pollinators here in Nova Scotia?
Any other creatures I should mention? Anybody I put on the list who doesn't
belong there?
Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
Flora
