Bees, bats, birds and butterflies have a friend in Alcee  Hastings
> Posted by Anthony Man on June 23, 2010 01:35  PM

 
 
U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, is getting down to business. Make that 
 b-b-b-business. 
The b's he's interested in are pollinators such as bees, bats, birds and  
butterflies. 
Because of the "indispensability" of these winged creatures, Hastings  
introduced a resolution commemorating the fourth anniversary of National  
Pollinator Week. 
Better hurry to the Hallmark store for your National Pollinator Week 
greeting  card, because it's already almost half over. It started Monday and ends 
Sunday,  according to a news release from Hastings' office. 
On a serious note, one-third of all food and beverages are derived from  
pollinators. "These animals are essential for the survival of ecosystems 
across  the country as well as the sustainability and security of our food 
supply."
