<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
