Now on display in Schow: To Bee Or Not to Bee: Stories old about pollen, pollinators, and the pollinated

Title Text Reads: "To Bee or not to Bee: Stories told about pollen, pollinators, and the pollinated." A loose grid of images, both photographic and graphic below title text are as follows: A flower releases pollen into wind. A hummingbird hovers. Butterflies fly in a forest in one image, and fly through a deforested landscape near a large tractor in another image. Bees swarm over honeycombs. A vanilla orchid flower. A cocoa tree. Fresh veggies and fruits arranged in baskets. a tree silhouette with many bats hanging from it's branches. A handful of seeds. A wasp visiting a flower. A large pink orchid flower. A green and black butterfly. Underneath these images is text stating: "June is national pollinator month!"
 

June is pollinator awareness month, the perfect time to appreciate the amazing process of pollination! We all breathe pollen-laden air, eat food that wouldn’t be possible without pollination, and appreciate flowers that evolved with the express purpose of attracting pollinators. Come by the Schow Science Library to browse books answering questions such as: What do bees see when they are looking for flowers to visit? What does pollination have to do with seed biodiversity? How do the cocoa tree or the vanilla orchid get pollinated? Can plant pollen really help solve crimes?

This display will be up until the end of June. The Schow Science Library hours in June are Monday through Friday, 8-4.
