As it is difficult to predict which pollinators may survive in a future climate or which pollinators will be needed to pollinate future crops, it is important to preserve a diversity of pollinators. Photo: iStockphoto Honeybees are common pollinators, but other insects such as hoverflies, beetles and butterflies, and wild bees, including bumble bees, are also needed for pollination and are importa
