The study also found wild pollinators could increase farmer income by $3 billion every year.
Wild pollinators, like bees, moths and flies, are responsible for feeding the equivalent of more than 24 million Canadians a year — a combination of buzzing and flapping that also boosts the annual income of the country’s farmers by about $2.8 billion, new research has found.
Those habitats — like wetlands, forests and grasslands — are home bases for species like bumblebees, who buzz inside flowers to vibrate off the pollen. The potential of wild pollinators to help crop production varied across the country, according to the study.
