There are three common kinds of pollination: self pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination. •Self pollination is when the pollen in the stamen (male part of the plant) drops into an ovule (egg) in the ovary of the stigma (female part) of the same plant. This is why it is called self pollination. • Wind pollination occurs in plants that are all-male (its flowers only containing stamen) and all-female (its flowers only containing the stigma). The stamen develops millions of pollen grains in the spring, as the chance of the pollen reaching an all-female plant is very little, and releases it in the summer. The few pollen grains that reach an all-female plant will be likely to reach an ovule in the stigma and pollinate the ovule. • Insect pollination is used by a lot of plants. This method of reproduction is when an insect such as a bee, butterfly, moth, or sometimes a bat, reaches a flower and sucks out the nectar in the flower. As they do this, the pollen gets stuck in their legs, and when they suck the nectar from the flower of another plant, the pollen gets onto the flower and into the stigma. If the pollen from a different type of plant is put into a stigma of a plant, pollination won't occur, so God has designed the bees of each hive to suck nectar from one kind of flower each day, so that the chance of pollination will be more.

One way is that the stamen of the same flower will touch the pistol and the plant will get itself pregnant. another is by bees or other insects. And i think the other way is by us.
