Let's post comments about pollinators:
What pollinators do you see in your community?
How would your community change if there were no pollinators?
1.In my area I can see butterflies, flies, birds, bees and bats. Bees, flies, butterflies and birds are everywhere, and bat bats are hard to see in or around the city. I saw them for the first time in my village.
ReplyDelete2.In our opinion, if there were no pollinators, then the fruits on the trees would stop appearing. If no one pollinates the flower, then it will simply fall off and bear no fruit.
Do you see any moths?
DeleteI completely agree with your opinion on if you had no pollinators.
Do you think that this would affect the whole world if we did not have pollinators?
What impact do you think having no pollinators would have?
Do you think we could survive without it?

wow thats so interesting, do you see moths a lot where you live? I see them almost every night right before I go to sleep.

I have a bee hive on my road do you?
DeleteThat is true the last part you said. If we did not have pollinators we would not have folwer's, and tree's. Also everbody please put your name and the state you are from at the bottom of your messege so we know who you are, thanks!

DeleteWow, you can see bats in your area? That's so cool! By Dima Balyuk from Kiev Ukraine
DeleteHi! When I walked in the evening, I saw some bats.
DeleteAlso, there were many bats in summer, when I was in the country side. That was cool.

What pollinators do you see in your community?
ReplyDeleteWhat I see pollinators doing in my community is keeping plants and other things alive. Giving humans veggies, (cooking) oil, plants, flowers and sooo many other things.
How would your community change if there were no pollinators?
What I think would change is Humans won't be as healthy and not have as much healthy food, and animals will get sick because they won’t have the natural elements that they need to survive.

DeleteHelping pollinators
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of honey bees, wasps, and hornets in my community. It would be bad if we lost all the pollinators. If there were no pollinators there would be a shortage of honey and most of the flowers would die! If we wanted to help the pollinators we could maybe get some more bee farmers and stop squishing bees and wasps. We could give them their own reserve or wildlife area so no one could harm them. These are some ideas I thought of to help pollinators.

Hi Jack I agree with you and your ideas about the reserve or some of its territory. Thank you for sharing your ideas Kholyavko Polina Kyiv, Ukraine
DeleteI agree with you, Jack, I liked your idea of a sawdust sanctuary. It would be really cool if this was done in all countries.
DeleteInga
Kiev, Ukraine.
I see all different types of pollinators all around my community. I see them near flowers, bushes, plants, etc. They are just doing their part and helping to make a strong community.
ReplyDeleteMy community would change from having no pollinators.
For an example if I had no pollinators in my community there wouldn’t be good healthy flowers, plants, and more. Having these pollinators is the only reason we have a healthy community.
We need to contribute to save some of these wonderful pollinators if we want our community to be alive and strong.

Yes, Madeleine, I agree with you. I want to add that most of the pollinators have such a beauty that you can't take your eyes off them. For example, butterflies. How beautiful they are! You look at them and rejoice.

ReplyDeleteI see plenty of pollinators. I see honey bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths. Our community would change drastically because if there are no pollinators all the plants can't spread and then die out. If there are no plants the herbivores there aren't herbivores if there's no herbivores the carnivores die and if all of them die omnivores die. Next we all die.

🌸🐝 Pollinators in Colorado 🌸🐝
ReplyDelete🌼 Some pollinators that I see in my community are butterflies, bees, moths, and occasionally some butterflies.
🌼 If there were no pollinators in my town, we would not have Farmer’s Markets, and almost no fresh fruits and vegetables. I also think that we would have less flowers. I wonder if that means that we would have less weeds as well.
🌼 One thing that I am doing to help pollinators is I am planting lots of flowers for the bees to pollinate.
Victoria - Colorado, USA
don't forget that if all pollinators disappeared there would be a mass extinction
Deleteyeah, definetly.
DeleteSomething that pollinators do is make honey and its yummy. And somethings that we can do to help pollinators are to plant more flowers. Also, something we can do is not use the bee trap things so we don’t keep killing them. And if there were no pollinators are air would go bad and there would be no more honey :(
ReplyDeleteColorado Eli Karp
I totally agree with your opinion, Eli.You really don't need to set bee traps, clean air is very important
DeleteKseniia Rudenko, Ukraine
I think that we have bees, butterflies, moths and migrating hummingbirds because I have seen them. If they died out we would all be dead of hunger in a few weeks tops. If they are such an important part of the environment why don’t we take care of them. What do you think?
ReplyDelete--JackQ Colorado
Yes, I agree with you! We really would have to take care of this because our future life depends on this.

What pollinators do you see in your community?
The pollinators keep plants living and healthy. i see the most butterflies and bees they are the most common in Colorado.
How would your community change if there were no pollinators?
The community would chang a lot because the plants would die and the animals would die and the plants are dead because the pollinators would not be pollinating all the plants that they eat . Also we would not have fruit and vegetables to eat.
Pollinating insects that we can see in community are bees, beetles, bumblebees, ants, butterflies, flies. And if they disappear, our planet will change. Without pollinators, most plants will disappear. And behind them will die animals who eat plants. Our favorite honey and silk will disappear.

Usually, only bees and butterflies are found among pollinators in Ukraine. I saw bees and butterflies at my grandmother's in the village, in the garden and in the flower beds.If there were no sawdust, there would be no fruits, vegetables, berries. In my opinion, the world would be gray and gloomy without all this. We eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and berries. If there were no pollinators, there would be a lot of unhealthy and fatty foods, but very few useful ones. I think pollinators are very important for our existence!
ReplyDeleteMilana Yurchenko, Ukraine
Do you see any birds or Moths. I agree the world would be very gray and gloomy without pollinators.
DeleteJulian, Colorado
I also agree that the world would be very gloomy without pollinators.

Hi Carmen, hello Julian! Thank you for your answers. I really like that you think as much as I do!))
DeleteMilana Yurchenko, Ukraine
I see bees, wasps, birds, butterflies in my community. Yes, my community would definitely change, for the worse. There would be no flowers which would make my community very dull and sad. There would be no fruit to eat, no wool for jackets or hats so we would be cold in the winter because the sheep wouldn’t have hay. To solve this problem we have to stop polluting, stop taking away there habitats and find a way to cure their diseases.
ReplyDeleteJulian Sutton, Colorado
One of the pollinators that live in Colorado are bees. Another one is butterflies from time to time. If there were no pollinators in Colorado, it would be hard for flours to spread, so Colorado would look less beautiful. Also without the bees, there would be no honey, which I wouldn’t necessarily like. Also, Colorado would just seem dull without pollinators. An idea of mine to save pollinators would be to put little nectar and pollen boxes hanging in the trees to help the pollinators do what they do best: Pollinate!
ReplyDeleteLuke - Colorado
Some of the pollinators that I see everyday are bees, beetles, flies, moths, butterflies, hummingbirds, and bats. If there were to be no pollinators, it would change our environment drastically. There would be no fruits or vegetables, no plants or trees, we would live in a very dark, colorless environment. But luckily there is a solution. If we stop using pesticides and plant native flowers, our pollinators will have somewhere to live without having to worry about deadly pestisides.
ReplyDeleteLucia Brown

A big pollinator in my community is a bee. Without bees, it would make life so much harder and there would be so much less food. We wouldn’t have honey, and honey goes into a lot of foods. I think that bees are one of the most important pollinators. Carmen - Colorado
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Carmen! I also think that bees are really the most important pollinators. There would be no them, there would be no fruits, vegetables, berries and honey!
DeleteMilana Yurchenko, Ukraine
I agree with you, Carmen. I think that bees really play a big role in our life.
DeleteValeriia Tseba, Ukraine
DeleteSome pollinators I see in my community are wasps, bees, butterflies, bugs, birds and caterpillars. If there were no pollinators then we would have no honey and flowers. Also if there were no pollinators there would be a mass extinction because plants survive on sun water and pollinators so if there were none we wouldn't have anything to eat because the cows and other animals wouldn't have anything to eat. -parker, colorado
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Parker! Pollinators are really important to people, plants and animals.
DeleteMilana Yurchenko, Ukraine
Parker, you're absolutely right! Without pollinators, our life has changed dramatically (for the worse, of course)
DeleteLera Tseba, Ukraine
In my community I see bees wasps and the ocasional butterfly. But these are just half the equation as there are lots of pollinators that are nocturnal. If pollinators went extinct it would cause a catastrophic effect possibly destroying humanity over time. Pollinators are a way more important part of our every day living than we think. Without pollinators in our world we would starve, this is because pollinators are a keystone species meaning if they went extinct it would cause a catastrophic effect on the environment. if there were no pollinators it would cause a domino affect killing off everything leading up to human.
ReplyDelete-carter colorado
In the village I saw bees, butterflies and bats. I saw butterflies in Kiev, bees in the village, but bats were difficult to see. I saw her at night and was very scared. In my opinion, if there were no pollinators, we would not have fruits, flowers and trees. We wouldn't have food. Due to the fact that there will be no trees, the air will be polluted.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteHowever, I am not sure if all trees get pollinated. Some have other ways of spreading seeds right?
Victoria - Colorado
DeleteHello! I can't imagine life without pollinators! There would be no fruit! This is awful! 😣 Bees, butterflies, wasps, bats - they only help us! I believe that without them we would have no life. Without pollinators in our world, we would starve to death because pollinators are key species, which means that if they become extinct, it will have a catastrophic impact on the environment. if there were no pollinators, this would cause a domino effect, killing everything that leads to the emergence of man.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your writing, very well said. Do you grow any crops at your home?
DeleteNo, but every summer I go to my great-grandmother, and she has a vegetable garden and I help her 😁

ReplyDeleteHello! I think, our lives would be more difficult without pollinators. It would be much fewer plants. Based on this, we can conclude that the air would be much less too. So we must save pollinators, not only because of they are helping us, because they are alive creatures! In my community I meet bees, butterflies, wasps and bats. Let's help pollinators and save the planet!

Aydan Ozbay, 6A
I so agree with you!
DeleteDo you have an moths where you live?
What makes your pollinators do such a great job at saving the planet?
Hi guys!
ReplyDeleteI think that life without pollination would be very difficult. But if there was no pollination, everything would have dried up after a while. In Ukraine, when you walk down the street you can see a lot of bees (of course if the weather is warm).Therefore, pollinators play a very important role in our lives. And we must take care of their safety.
Sofi Shevchenko Ukraine
Great answer Sofi! We really should care for their safety!
DeleteVictoria - Colorado
I can often see such pollinators: bees, birds, sometimes even bats :) I do not see bats often, only in the village. I believe that if the pollinators disappear, everything will be much worse, for example: trees will cease to bear fruit, many plants will not bloom at all, there will be nothing to grow in the fields, the fruit will not ripen, so still cook from fruit can not cook. ..so take care of pollinators and nature :)
ReplyDeleteSo I think that pollinators are in huge trouble because they are encountering one of the deadliest beings on Earth... Humans. Let's just talk in the way the big companies will understand why we should help pollinators. Bees make 160 billon dollars of profit in the world every single day just by honey and roughly 2 times more with pollination took into the calculatins. If bees were gone all these profits will be equal to zero. Most of our products will be gone. Most of people that have their companies by bees will lose everything and will go bankrupt. And all of these problems will not happen if we do something, so why don't we start fixing our behaviour now? If we don't start now, we maybe won't start at all.
ReplyDeleteBy Dima Balyuk from Kyiv Ukraine
Very good reasoning and I totally agree.
DeleteYou mentioned bees but what about the other pollinators?
What could we do to save those pollinators and what do they do for us?
1. Bees, wasps, hornets, butterflies, flies, beetles, caterpillars, dragonflies, grasshoppers, small birds, bats and other insects are pollinators of flowers, plants and trees. They are very necessary in nature. In some sense, our health depends on them.
ReplyDelete2. If they suddenly disappeared, humanity would be left with such foods as vegetables, fruits, berries, honey and others. It is very important not to pollute the nature in which we live in order to preserve a healthy world and beauty, which is also very much needed by everyone. Save the nature!
Liza Dovhopol, Ukraine.
I totally understand what your saying. Good job!
DeleteIn Ukraine I can see many pollinators like bees, bats, birds, wasps hornets. I can see pollinators every day. My father and his friends are beekeepers. It is very interesting. But pollinators are in danger. Save our planet!!!
ReplyDeletethats so cool that your dad is a beekeeper
Deletewhat kind of bats do you have in ukraine
Deletelayna-colorado
DeleteI completely agree with you.
DeleteIf pollinators are disappeared. Nature will be in danger because we can’t eat vegetables, fruits, honey, berries and others. It is very important. Life will be not beauty. Pollinators are very important for our planet. Save our planet!!!

Pollinators are very important. The help the Earth and our environment by pollinating the fruit and veggies that we eat. I think the the world needs to work harder to protect them. People should start raising awareness so everyone can start to fix the problems in our world.
ReplyDeleteSadie, Colorado
In colorado we have pollinators such as bees, birds and butterflies. Without them we would not have fruits, veggies etc. That is what we need these animals. Every meal that we eat has something in it that we would not have if our pollinators did not exist. There are some places that are doing everything they can to save them. Due to disease bees are struggling to survive. We can help buy: supporting places that help them, peaceful protest and donating to honey bee farms.
ReplyDeleteLayna-colorado
Some pollinator we see in our community includes a lot of moths and honeybees with not as many butterflies. These Pollinators are very important in colorado because there are a lot of farms so fruits and vegetables are important in colorado. If we did not have these pollinators many meals would not be able to be made and eating healthy would be a lot harder.
ReplyDeleteJack, Colorado
What pollinators do you see in your community?
ReplyDeleteThe pollinators I see in my community are occasionally Hummingbirds, Butterflies and I see very commonly is bees..., and every once in awhile bats!
How would your community change if there were no pollinators?
If there were no pollinators we would not have most of our food, like produce that come from crops the pollinators wouldn’t be able to pollinate and help the crops grow. Different foods would start to go away like apples, blueberries, chocolate, coffee, melons, peaches, potatoes, pumpkins… And we want all of that! Pollinators do much more
This is one reason why we need pollinators
Caddis-Colorado
In Ukraine we can see hops bees and wasps
ReplyDeleteWhen polinators dissapier we can see very bad wourld. We have not got any fruits. Lot people in the wourld like eat apples strouberes and another fruits. We cant not eat fruits never. Polinators are very useful and when they dissapier we can not see honey too becouse bees are polinators too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying. What do you think we can do that would help save the pollinaters?
DeleteI agree no fruit sucks. Jack Q Colorado
DeleteIn my community I see these different pollinators. I see bees and butterflies. If our world didn't have pollinators we would not have as much food or as much flowers. Brandon Colorado.🤪
ReplyDeletethis is mine lol
DeleteStop spraying pesticides. Try to encourage people not to start bee farms because then bees get killed there everyday. Don't purposely harm bees, Butterflies and other pollinators
ReplyDeleteIN my community there are alot of bees and even one of my neighbors has a bee thing in there back yard.
ReplyDeleteIf there were no pollinators in my community we would run out of food since most of our food is locally sourced. And my community has a lot of open space so that wouldn’t be a thing and the air quality would be a lot worse
-Will Colorado
there would be no flowers and we will have no fruits or vegtables to eat if bees went goodbye

What pollinators do you see in your community?
ReplyDeleteIn my community there are varieties of bees a few butterflies and hummingbirds
How would your community change if there were no pollinators?
There would not be any of the beautiful flowers and there would not be many of the foods me and my family enjoy
We could follow the lead of Colorado State University and plant a pollernader friendly flower garden. Or we could create a space that is friendly to bees, butterflies, and birds. Almost like our very own butterfly/ bee/ bird pivilan. It would make a safe and comfortable space for these creturse! Not to mention that we can combine the two ideas and have a garden inside the space.

In Colorado I see bees, hummingbirds, and wasps. My life would change a lot if there were no pollinators because there would be less food. We need to protect our precious pollinators.

DeleteJack Q Colorado
I saw many bees, butterflies and a few birds in my dacha. At first I thought the bird just saw something near the flower, but now I realized that it was a pollinator. It looked very interesting and even a little funny. I would like to see bats pollinate flowers.
ReplyDeleteI think that if all pollinators disappeared from our community, we simply could not live on earth. After all, we would be left without fruits, vegetables and some plants. We need fruits and vegetables for consumption, and plants produce oxygen. That is, if all pollinators disappeared - we would die.

a vary grim fate but a vary likely one
Delete1. Most often I see bees, butterflies, birds. They fly almost everywhere. I have evidence of bees in the village. Sometimes in the evenings it is interesting to watch them as they bring pollen into their homes. Also in the village I see butterflies very often. They are almost everywhere! They disguise themselves as leaflets very easily. Sometimes it's hard to spot them!
ReplyDelete2. I think that if there were no pollinators, then we would not have a crop. After all, it is the pollinators that help the pollen fly from flower to flower. Wind also helps, but pollinators do better.
Karina Balkova UKRAINE 6-A
1.My grandfather has got bees in the village. Every summer I live next to them. I observe how hard they work in the garden. Except for bees, pollinators are butterflies, bats, beetles, birds, small mammals who are responsible for bringing us food. Pollinating animals travel from plant to plant carrying pollen on their bodies. When a pollen grain moves from the anther (male part) of a flower to the stigma (female part), pollination happens. This is the first step in a process that produces seeds, fruits, and the next generation of plants. Somewhere between 75% and 95% of all flowering plants on the earth need help with pollination – they need pollinators. 2.Besides food, pollinators support healthy ecosystems that clean the air, stabilize soils, protect from severe weather, and support other wildlife.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
DeleteLera Tseba

DeleteI see pollinators such as bees, butterflies, wasps, ants, flies. They fly around us every day. They fly from flower to flower and carry dust. They thus contribute to the reproduction of nature. If there are no pollinators in the world then the world will slowly begin to die out .It will be gray. Plants will begin to die out. Plants will stop giving oxygen. Therefore pollinators are very useful and necessary to the world.

There are a lot of bees in Ukraine and that is why people have been engaged in beekeeping since ancient times. This brings to humanity many useful products such as honey, pollen, honeycomb, wax. Their main job is to pollinate plants. The bee is one of the most important insects on the planet. Without their labor, we would be left without most of the fruits, vegetables, and plants. Recently, their number has been sharply decreasing due to environmental pollution. People need to pay more attention to this problem to preserve the abundance of these beautiful insects.
