Pollinators visit flowers for the nectar and inadvertedly transfer pollen (either from same flower or one visited previously) from the male anthers to the female stigma.

Pollinators include the following:

  • Bats
  • Hummingbirds, honeyeaters and sunbirds
  • Monkeys, lemurs, possums, rodents and lizards.
  • Humans "hand pollinate" without the need for the nectar harvest.
  • Honey bees, bumblebees, and other bees with "pollen basket" on hind legs.
  • Hoverflies and other fly species.
  • Wasps (several species)
  • Butterflies and moths.
  • Beetles
