How do pollinators affect your life? Well, if you’ve ever eaten a 
blueberry,  chocolate bar or tomato, then you owe a big thank you to a small 
pollinator.  Pollinators are birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, 
small  mammals, and most importantly, bees. They are responsible for 
pollinating one  out of every three bites of food we eat. But these invaluable 
creatures are  facing declines. That’s why USDA agencies, other federal 
departments and  partners share knowledge and collaborate on efforts to help 
increase awareness  and tackle challenges facing pollinators.  
As part of National Pollinator Week, June 17 – 23, you and your family can  
learn how to support and protect pollinators of all kinds. Come celebrate 
during  the fourth annual Pollinator Week Festival at USDA on Friday, June 21 
from 10  a.m. to 2 p.m. at USDA’s Farmers Market in Washington, DC along 
12th  Street between Jefferson Drive and Independence Avenue, SW. Buzz on over 
to  learn from experts, watch live bees, participate in pollinator-friendly 
 activities, and see what efforts, big and small, you can take in your own  
backyard to help pollinators.
