To find the pollinators, find the flowers. Even better if you plant some ;) Different pollinator species have different flower preferences, so spend some time quietly observing to see what comes and goes. Often you'll notice a pattern of flowers that are repeatedly visited.

Hold still and be patient, watching the flowers with your camera ready and you will begin to anticipate their movements (and feel like you're a part of their tiny magical world!)
