(1)abiotic, i.e, nonliving pollinators, and (2)biotic, i.e., living pollinators. The abiotic pollinators are the wind and water, the latter with a limited occurrence in a few aquatic plants. Biotic pollinatorsrefer to various animal species with insects as the most dominant. However, ...
One rule of thumb: flowers with large blooms usually produce heavy (large particle) pollen. These trees attract insects that transport pollen and do not depend on wind transportation. These trees are generally lower in their allergy potential. Also, "perfect" flowers on trees are desired. A per...

Cross pollination requires pollinators and vectors to transfer pollen from one flower to another. It commonly occurs in flowers of different plants of the same species. Two methods of cross pollination or pollination, in general, are biotic and abiotic. Biotic pollination needs insects and other a...
their distribution in the world today. As sedentary organisms, plants usually must enlist the services of external agents for pollen transport. In flowering plants, these are (roughly in order of diminishing importance) insects,wind, birds, mammals, and water.See alsomajor types of pollinators. ...
pollen is transferred from the male part of a flower to the female part of a flower. It can occur within the same flower (self-pollination) or between multiple flowers of the same species (cross-pollination). Pollination can occur through the use of pollinators such as insects or the wind...
In defense of the fly, I'd like to point out some good qualities: many aresuper pollinators, they help break down organic material and they control other insect pests. But since flies are so prolific and because they carry so many diseases, there is no reason not to control them around...
