Stunning Pollinator Footage
06/20/2011
Sometimes seeing even the most mundane creatures in slow motion through the lens of a camera reveals just how truly strange and wonderful they really are. In the video clip below, cinemetographer Louis Schwartzberg talks about pollinators--the bees, butterflies, beetles, flies, bats, and hummingbirds that fertilize plants in their quest for pollen and nectar and in doing so ensure that plants produce the seeds, berries, fruits, nuts and other food that so many other species rely upon for food, ourselves included.
His footage of pollinators is nothing short of stunning. After you watch the video, find out more about what you can do to help and help pollinators right in your own garden and check out video clips from my Animal Planet series Backyard Habitat.
