The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is celebrating National Pollinator Week, June 17-23, 2024. This week highlights the essential role of pollinators, like bees, butterflies, birds, and bats, in our food system.
“Pollinators are critical to a healthy ecosystem,” said Tom Vilsack. They ensure the production of many fruits, vegetables, and nuts that we rely on.
