Generally speaking, wasps and flies do not actively collect pollen, but rather pollinate incidentally while foraging for nectar and food. Bees on the other hand, actively collect pollen to feed to their offspring. Wasps are carnivores that hunt for bugs to feed to their offspring (or to lay ...

Pollination is dependent on two different factors; insects or the wind. We wouldn’t have many foods if it weren’t for the work that bees do. For bees to pollinate these crops, typically monocrops—they have to be transported year-round to pollinate them. This would be very stressful for...
The literature review revealed that the species is mainly outcrossed and is pollinated by a diversity of vectors, including bats that allow long-pollen dispersal. When bats are absent, pollination is mainly carried out by honey bees and stingless bees and in such case pollen-mediated gene flow...

red and purple flowers. Because a butterfly cannot smell it does not care that the flowers it pollinates are odorless. Its long proboscis allows it to access flowers that a bee could not, and its light weight allows it to land on the most delicate of plants. The larvae of butterflies, ...
