Description
Pollination is basically and fundamentally the procedure named for the transferring of pollen from the male part of the flower, which is the anther over to the stigma, which is the female part of the flower. Upon doing this transfer it allows and helps the plants to form their seed, nut, or fruit.
There are many ways that the pollination of plants can occur and can happen by simply relying on the wind to assist in this process or other cases the pollen is transferred by animals, such as bats, moths, hummingbirds, ants, beetles and butterflies.
One of the most common pollinators that people think of most is the bee. In fact it’s said that Bees are responsible for the pollination process of up to one-sixth of the flowering (Blossoming) plant species across the world.
This Black and white photograph shows us one bee species as there’re approximately around 25,000 different types of Bees worldwide, close to 4,000 in north america alone.
A few of the best known of these bee families are the honeybee, bumblebee, and carpenter bee.
All bees are exceptional at what they do, by using the stiff hairs as well as the pockets on their legs, they collect pollen which in turn allows them to transport such pollen from plant to plant. The larger the bee for example like the bumblebee, are very successful in pollinating, simply do to their size in general and the capability to have a more vigorous vibration that helps it better disperse pollen amongst the blooming flowers and fruit trees, crops, etc.
