How pollination works
In short: Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma, enabling fertilisation and seed production in plants.
1. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther of a plant to the stigma of a plant. 2. Pollinating animals travel from plant to plant carrying pollen on their bodies in a vital interaction. 3. In buzz pollination, a bee must vibrate at a certain frequency in order to cause pollen to be released from the anthers. 4. Pollination produces some $40 billion worth of products annually in the United States alone.
