Nearly all flying insects pollinate. The best known are bees. Wasps are also extremely important in pollination. Some fruits and flowers are pollinated by almost any flying insect, while others can only be served by one specific bug. For example, there are 27 species of dates. Each species has a unique wasp that pollinates it. Some plants don't need insect pollination. Instead, they throw out large quantities of pollen for the wind to carry to others of their kind. Pine trees are one example.

Honey bees are the most common of the insect pollinators. Other insect pollinators include bumble bees, ants, moths, beetles, and flies.

Very often it is the design of the flower that determines what will pollinate it. For example, a flower with a long Trumpet shape may have its nectar out of reach for a honey bee, but a bumble bee with a longer proboscis is can reach it.
