Summary
Pollination focuses on how a warming climate affects the relationship between tulip trees and honey bees and their reproductive success.
An earlier, shorter version of Pollination exists, in which the words and pictures were separate. That version was published in the comics anthology Warmer: A collection of comics about climate change for the fearful & hopeful. The book was edited by cartoonists Andrew White and Madeleine Witt.
