Some of the glucose manufactured by the plant must be made into nectar to entice and feed the insects that pollinate the plant. This is the cost of pollination to the plant.

One cost to the plant of insect pollination is the energy required to produce nectar and pollen, which serves as a reward to attract insects. Additionally, there is a risk of damage to the plant's reproductive structures by the visiting insects. Finally, some insect pollinators may also inadvertently transfer pollen from other plant species, leading to potential hybridization and reduced genetic purity.
