Every Saturday until Halloween, we’re sharing some x-rayted photos of our animal residents! X-rays are an important tool in animal care, helping our veterinary team look beneath the surface to monitor health, diagnose injuries, and provide the best possible care for our animals.

Tiny but Mighty Monday! 💪 🐝

Did you know that bees pollinate about 80% of the world’s flowering plants? When bees transfer pollen between flowers, they help plants produce seeds and bear fruit. The pollination process supports biodiversity, creates habitats for other wildlife, and produces the food we eat. Every one in three bites we eat has been pollinated by a bee. Next time you eat, count how many bites are pollinated by a bee!

Bees pollinate every 1 in 3 bites we eat. One third of the world’s food production relies on bees.
