The Pollinator Partnership

We can thank pollinating animals for one of every three bites of food. Please visit pollinator.org for more information. http://www.pollinator.org/index.html The Pollinator Partnership also has a You Tube channel! You can find it by clicking on the following link: http://www.youtube.com/user/PollinatorPartnershi National Pollination Week was June 22 - June 28, 2009. It was my honor and privilege to meet Ms. Adams, Executive Director of the Pollinator Partnership, and Dr. Buchmann, Entomologist and International Coordinator for the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) as well as the dedicated volunteers, some pictured in this video and some not, when I visited the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. on June 27. Information presented about the Pollinator Partnership accessed from pollinator.org, July 10, 2009. I used their wording. It is my hope to promote pollinator.org through this video.
