Insight
Bees are vital in plant reproduction, making them fundamental to healthy ecosystems.
The changing climate impacts pollinators by altering a suite of climactic variables
(temperature, precipitation, humidity, extreme events, etc.),
affecting environmental parameters (snowpack, snowmelt timing, drought, flooding, etc.),
and potentially weakening the plant populations that pollinators depend on.
Paying attention to climate change requires
protecting pollinators who service ecosystems and our food crops.
Since the action of bees bringing pollen to the pistil
looks similar to Santa Claus delivering presents to children.
In this project, the bee is illustrated in the role of Santa Claus
for unpollinated plants (the young form of a plant before the blossom of fruit).
On the way to the flowers, the bee may encounter climate issues,
making it difficult or impossible for him to reach the pistil.
This concept of illustrating Santa Claus as a bee
addresses a younger generation to express the climate problems they will face.
