What to draw?

Did you know? Birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals, and most importantly, bees are all pollinators? They visit flowers to drink nectar or feed off of pollen and transport pollen grains as they move from spot to spot.

Example of Art:

See this sign that Xerces.org sells. This is a great example of a scene with pollinators.
