The cast of Asali pose in front of a colorful forest background. All of the pollinator character are cartoony, cute but cool, and anthropomorphic. Asali the honey bee stands triumphantly in front. Behind her are a green hummingbird who looks like he’s ready for a fight, a golden brown honey possum holding up a peace sign who sits in a wheelchair, a pink butterfly with glasses looking a bit unsure, and a tan moth with a hoodie and sleepy eyes pointing to himself. Behind them a black woman with locs, gold jewelry and a denim dress looks curious and hopeful. Next to her, a magical dragon-like creature made of plants looks stoic, and mysterious.
