Welcome to June, the vibrant and blooming month dedicated to celebrating our incredible pollinators! From bees and butterflies to birds and bats, these tiny yet mighty creatures play a crucial role in our ecosystems, ensuring the reproduction of countless plants and the production of the food we enjoy every day. National Pollinators Month is an excellent opportunity for educators and students to dive deep into the world of pollinators, learn about their importance, and take action to protect them.
Before we start, let's warm up with this Kahoot! game by WWF and learn how pollinators are responsible for the survival and health of so many others and how you can help pollinators in your own neighborhood!

Whether you're planning lessons or simply looking to increase awareness, this calendar will help you make the most of this important month dedicated to our vital pollinators.
Understanding the Impact of Pollinators
Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, birds, and bats, facilitate the pollination of plants, ensuring the production of fruits, seeds, and new plants. This process is crucial for biodiversity, food production, and the overall health of our environment. Without pollinators, many plant species would struggle to reproduce, leading to a ripple effect on the entire ecosystem.
Integrating lessons about pollinators into our educational curricula offers students a hands-on experience to connect with nature and understand the interdependence of species. By teaching children about the importance of pollinators, we foster a sense of stewardship and environmental responsibility that can shape their future actions.
