Highlighting Crucial Role of Pollinators for National Pollinator Week
· Texas Border Business
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has announced National Pollinator Week, taking place from June 22-28, urging Texans to recognize the importance of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and bats in supporting agriculture and natural landscapes. Over 75% of flowering plants and many food crops rely on animal pollination. Texas boasts a rich diversity of pollinators, including various butterfly species and honey bees, which enhance crop yields. This year's theme, 'Life on a Leaf: Celebrating Caterpillars and Host Plants,' emphasizes the need for native plants that support pollinators. Miller encourages responsible pesticide use and support for local beekeepers.
