| Program Description | Are insects and birds able to pollinate the same plant? Why is pollination beneficial? For the answers to these and many other questions, join us as we investigate with the live specimens, study skins and models the cooperative relationship between pollinators and the plant kingdom. | |

1. We examine the parts of a flower and the resulting variety. 2. We discuss why there is such variety. 3. We discuss what pollination is and the types of pollination. 4. We explore and discover different pollinators and the flowers that they are attracted to. 5. Time is allowed for questions and answers. |
