What benefits do self-pollinating angiosperms receive from pollination by bees?

Answer 1

Genetic variation and production increases are benefits that self-pollinating angiosperms receive from pollination by bees. Self-pollination involves fertilization by the pistil and stamen on one plant to produce fruit from seeds. The cross-pollination that pollinating bees introduce militates against depressed plant vigor from inbreeding and for the genetic variation that pollen from another plant introduces for greater responses to environmental stresses.
