Twelve years ago, the U.S. Senate designated a week in June as 'National Pollinator Week.' It's purpose is to celebrate the valuable ecosystem services provided by birds, bees, butterflies, bats, and beetles. You can learn more about why pollinators are important and how you can help increase their population by going to the website of the group that initiated Pollinator Week:

One plant in our Perennial Border is a pollinator magnet. If you click and zoom on the photo you will see many busy bees and butterflies.
