Pick the Pollinator
Canada goldenrod
With its bright yellow petals, abundant nectar, and protein-rich
pollen, goldenrod attracts a variety of pollinators, including one
of the above. This organism is equipped with "pollen baskets" on its
hind legs, and it uses the goldenrod's nectar to create a sweet,
viscous liquid often prized in folk medicine as an antiseptic agent.
Hint: Farmers often utilize this easily bred organism in pollinating commercial crops such as almonds.
