Pollen is dispersed in several ways.

Some plants are wind pollinated and the pollen for these is dispersed into the air (e.g. grasses)

Some plants use insects (e.g. bees) to transmit their pollen form one flower to the next (e.g. lavender)

Some plants use animals (e.g. bats) to transport pollen from one flower to the next (e.g. the Kapok tree)

Some plants use birds (e.g. humming birds) to transport pollen from one flower to the next (e.g. the Hibiscus plant)

Pollen can be distributed in several ways. Pollen can be carried by the wind, by bees as they gather nectar and by sticking to the legs and fur of other passing animals.

Primarily by insects such as bees and bee- looking flies. The wind and some birds like hummingbirds can also aid in pollen dispersal.
