<p dir="ltr">Grasses such as sorghum are rarely considered as an important food resource for pollinators. In this study, we report insects collecting or consuming pollen of sorghum over the 8-week flowering period of a mapping population in Tifton, GA. We also examine the response of insects to plant morphological traits and disease damage, and the ability of bumble bees to cross-pollinate sorghum.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Supplemental Figure Legends:</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>Supplemental Fig. 1.
