Best Answer

Once an individual bee has started collecting from a particular species of plant, it will stay with that species until the nectar dries up, then it will move on to another species.

Within the colony, different bees may well be collecting from different plant species.

How does a taxonomist decide whether 2 plants are members of the same species or too closely related species?

the definiton of a species is two organisms that have changed from each other so much that they cannot have any viable offspring. So basically they cannot mate.So a taxonomist would be able to tell if the two plants were of the same species or not by polinating one with the other, like how bees pollinate plants, and see if they produced seeds and then if those seeds were able to produce mature plants.

What is another agent of pollination?

That would be flying insects such as bees, as well as small birds (hummingbirds). They collect nectar for their own food, and in the process of collecting food, they spread pollen between different plants of the same species and within the flowers of the same plants as well. Pollen in plants serves the same purpose as male reproductive cells (sperm cells) in mammals.
