Are non-bee insects important pollinators of crops?


Watch my video blog about a wonderful study* that showed just how important insects other than bees (wasps, flies, butterflies, moths and beetles) are in providing crop pollination services all over the world. I also touch on how important these other insects are in my study of watermelon pollinators. Let me know if you have any questions/comments!
