“Bite me here!” multidisciplinary research unlocks resonance secret of buzz pollination interactions
Figure 1 Bumblebees use vibration to forage pollen on beaked and “nosey” Pedicularis. They always bite at the base of the flower’s beak and then buzz it. The pollen released from the beak’s terminus ...
Get a honeybee near a rose or a lavender and the insect will extend its strawlike tongue to search for nectar, pollinating the flower in the process. That’s at least how it works in clean environments ...
