Pollinators include many species of bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, and beetles

Pollinators include many species of bees, butterflies, moths, flies, wasps, beetles, even birds and bats, who together help pollinate many species of trees, shrubs and other flowering plants. In return, flowering plants are an abundant and diverse food source for pollinators. For instance, fossil records suggest ees may have evolved from wasps that gave up hunting after they acquired a taste for nectar.
