This presentation will be an overview of Maine's insect pollinators including bees, wasps, flies, beetles, moths, butterflies, and other lesser-known insect groups. While emphasizing native bees, the talk will also cover pollination networks, the roles of geography, season, and plant species in determining which insect groups are the most significant pollinators, and the impact of climate change on pollinators. The presentation will conclude with some simple pollinator conservation recommendations and sources for the identification of insect pollinators.
