I have a good relationship with the Xerces Society, they use an image of mine of the western bee and spread the word about it.

I took this pledge a long time ago, not with xerces in particular but from within, where ever such notions are formed . In the process of learning how to encourage the survival of pollinators a whole new world opened its doors, renewing hope and bringing joy.

I watched a new film last evening called THE QUEEN OF THE SUN, a documentary about colony collapse disorder. One of the specialists intervied called it "people collapse disorder", meaning people have lost their priorities to the profit motive, and that even the future of civilization, which the pollinators control, is not enough to smarten them up.
The film is international in scope, with bee keepers and biologists from around the world sharing their beliefs on the immportance of pollinatgors, both native and imported. Indeed, though the film centers upon the honey bee, it does not neglect the other pollinators so important to the production of food and the continuation of healthy ecosystems. Its free to watch on Netflix streaming. It's a 2011 production.

Here's another video on pollination; the hummingbird segments are truly amazing.
