How do bees help with pollination?

3 Answers

more_vert
Bees are excellent pollinators because they have the ability to carry pollen in a specialized structure called a pollen basket or corbicula, located on their hind legs. As they move from flower to flower collecting nectar, they inadvertently pick up and transfer pollen grains from the male parts of one flower to the female parts of another. This leads to fertilization and the production of seeds and fruits. Bees are especially important for the pollination of crops like almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, cherries, cucumbers, kiwis, melons, and pumpkins, among others.

Bees help with pollination by transferring pollen from the male parts (stamen) of flowers to the female parts (pistil), facilitating the fertilization and reproduction of plants, including many agricultural crops and wildflowers.

Bees are important pollinators because they collect nectar and pollen from flowers for food and inadvertently transfer pollen between flowers as they move from one to another. Bees have specialized body parts, such as hairy legs and bodies, and a branched structure on their hind legs called a pollen basket, which help them collect and carry pollen. Additionally, bees are attracted to flowers by their colors, scents, and ultraviolet patterns, and can learn to associate specific flower characteristics with rewards. Bees are estimated to pollinate about one-third of the world's crops and contribute to the biodiversity of natural ecosystems.
