ESMS Ag students have been busy learning about the important role pollinators play in agriculture!
Before participating in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census, students learned about the importance of pollinators and completed a fun hands-on pollinator lab to learn how pollinators transfer pollen from flower to flower and why this process is so important for producing many of the foods we eat.

Then, students headed out to our school garden to put their knowledge into action! They carefully observed and counted pollinators as part of the Great Southeast Pollinator Census, an annual community project hosted by the University of Georgia each August.
