Interesting read; it just omits the underdogs of the pollinator world. Research on #flypollination still lags far behind studies on #bees, and the true impact of flies on agricultural systems goes unrecognised; this is where we’re helping out. Have no fear, #hoverflies are here!

Hello, we are THE HOVERFLIES, & we mean you no harm. Some call us "sweat bees," implying that we can sting. But it's all a ruse. We're flies! Really. No stingers here, promise! We are pollinators, crop-pest predators, & cuties to bootsies. Please, no squish. 📸: Alvesgaspar

@ISSUESinST @Biodesigned Flies are already incredible pollinators working hard in the fields of some of our favourite crops. They often don't get as much credit as bees. We love to shine some light on the underdogs of the pollination community and develop systems which can help increase their impact.

Insects pollinate approximately 75% of crops globally. But the largest group of pollinators, #bees, have seen their numbers decline significantly—possibly due to industrial agriculture, pathogens, reduced habitat, and a changing climate. (1/4)

We are on the edge of our seats waiting for this little gem to come out. In the meantime, check out @flygirlNHM's first 'must-read', The Secret Life of Flies... everything you want to know about flies and so, so much more.
