Pollinators

I saw the most amazing sight. While touring a garden, I peered into the bright yellow flower of a cactus in bloom. At that moment, in dove—and I mean literally—a bumblebee into the froth of pollen covered stamens. It proceeded to tumble and roll around the flower until it was itself a ball of pollen. If bumblebees feel joy, this is what bumblebee joy must look like.

The human race can’t live without water and we can’t live without pollinators. To see beauty and magic in action, watch the video clip of Louie Schwartzberg’s “The Hidden Beauty of Pollination” and revel in the miracle of pollinators.
