Where are these threats coming from? Here are a few of the many examples we know about&#8230;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/herofortheplanet.org\/pollinators\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2018\/12\/eleanor-teaching-right.png\" alt=\"eleanor-teaching-right\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"916\" width=\"476\" title=\"eleanor-teaching-right\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h4>\n\t\tPesticides &#038; Herbicides\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Pesticides are poisonous chemicals designed to keep insects from damaging plants. Herbicides are poisonous chemicals designed to kill &#8220;weeds&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>More and more, people are spraying these on farms, lawns, gardens, trees, and other places where they want to kill bugs and weeds. Unfortunately, these poisons also hurt the good insects that help plants grow, including pollinators. Or they kill the &#8220;weeds&#8221; (many of which are host plants) that caterpillars need to eat in order to become butterflies.<\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0j7C_KQp8qM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h4>\n\t\tLoss of Habitat\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>The ecosystems pollinators prefer are natural spaces where native flowers, tall grasses, shrubs, and trees grow. When we change those natural spaces by constructing buildings, creating parking lots and roads, or establishing large fields of mowed grass and lawns, we take away the plants that pollinators depend on.<\/p>\n<p>This loss of habitat means that the native plants that pollinators need in order to grow, eat, and survive are harder for them to find.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\tAir &#038; Light Pollution\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Many pollinators use their sense of smell to find the flowers that provide their vital energy source &#8211; pollen and nectar. Competing odors from air pollution makes this sensory adaptation challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Other pollinators that feed primarily at night (like bats and moths) can become confused by the artificial light we have created, becoming disoriented in their search for flowers.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\tInvader Species\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Invasive species, or species of plants, animals, parasites, and diseases that are not native to a region and have been introduced to an area through human activity, can become a threat to native species. These invaders often don&#8217;t have predators that keep them in check. They compete with native species for space, food, and other resources.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\tClimate Change\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Climate change is causing climate and seasonal patterns to change. Seasonal patterns determine important things like when flowers bloom, when animals migrate, and when eggs hatch. But if seasons are irregular and patterns become disrupted, this can negatively impact pollinators.<\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NASA | Feeling the Sting of Climate Change\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vd0uvqYYUQw?start=19&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-qsoRkl6Njs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TvqcWumOfEA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t<h4>Accidental Harm<\/h4>\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Recall a time that you did something or made a decision that caused more harm or trouble than you expected.

Try to find out if they are safe for pollinators.<\/li>\n<li>Look for places around your school, home, and community where flowers are growing. Then look for places that don&#8217;t have flowers. Talk about where more flowers could be planted for pollinators.<\/li>\n<li>Check out your sense of smell! Go for a walk, ride your bike, or ride in a car with the windows down. What do you smell? Pollinators are smelling for flowers. How close to you have to be to smell flowers?<\/li>\n<li>Pick a video to watch that interests you.\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calacademy.org\/educators\/why-protect-pollinators\">Why Protect Pollinators?<\/a> from California Academy of Sciences <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencenewsforstudents.org\/article\/why-are-bees-vanishing-pesticides-disease-other-threats\">Why are bees vanishing?<\/a>\u00a0from Science News for Students <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/smart-news\/how-climate-change-messing-bees-ability-pollinate-180956523\/\">How climate change is messing with bees&#8217; ability to pollinate<\/a>, from Smithsonian Magazine <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2017\/10\/pesticides-found-honey-around-world?r3f_986=https:\/\/www.google.com\/\">Pesticides found in honey around the world<\/a>, from Science Magazine<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1fewnfOndJw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UN celebrates first ever World Bee Day<\/a>, from United Nations\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2017\/08\/170802153907.htm\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\t\n\tEducator Note<\/a><\/h5>\t\t\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Create a visual model<\/strong> (e.g., collage or infographic) of human impact headlines.
