972 - What is the importance of pollinators like bees and butterflies for plants?

Pollinators like bees and butterflies are very important for plants because they help plants make seeds. When they visit flowers to drink nectar, they also pick up pollen from one flower and accidentally drop it on another flower. This process is called pollination. It's like they're delivering special packages that help plants produce seeds and fruits. Without pollinators like bees and butterflies, many plants wouldn't be able to make seeds and reproduce.
