Flowers are an important part of the ecosystem and for this flash challenge, we want you to write about a species of pollinators in your world.

“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
― Albert Einstein

Flowers and a bird

By John Duncan

There are several different species of pollinators in our world. Birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals,, bees and some plants even pollinate themselves!

How is it done in your world? Do fairies do it? Cyborgs? Is it a magical occurrence? Do flowers walk and pollinate each other that way? The possibilities are endless.
