How do nettles pollinate?
Nettles are wind-pollinated plants. Their tiny, inconspicuous flowers produce abundant pollen that is carried by the wind to other flowers for pollination. Nettles do not rely on insects or other animals for pollination.
Can monarch butterflies pollinate flowers?
Yes, monarch butterflies can indirectly help pollinate flowers as they visit them for nectar. While they are not as efficient as bees or other insects, their movements between flowers can help transfer pollen and facilitate pollination.
What pollinates a daisy?
Bees, butterflies, and other flying insects are known to pollinate daisies. They visit the flowers in search of nectar or pollen, and as they move from flower to flower, they transfer pollen, aiding in fertilization.
What pollinates chrysanthemums?
Bees will pollinate mums but they have to beware of spiders that hide there.
How are bad-odered flowers pollinated?
Bad-odored flowers often attract specific pollinators, such as flies or beetles, which are particularly attracted to the unpleasant smell. These insects are still valuable pollinators for the plant, even though the scent may not be appealing to humans. The insects help transfer pollen between flowers during their visits, facilitating the plant's reproductive process.
Will flowers die if there not pollinated by bees?
No. There are plenty of other insects which pollinate flowers.
Do flies pollinate flowers?
Flies and all other insects that fly from flower to flower will help to pollinate.
Do dragonflies pollinate flowers?
Dragonflies are not significant pollinators of flowers. While they may unintentionally transfer some pollen while foraging for insects near flowers, they are not as effective as bees, butterflies, or other specialized pollinators. Dragonflies primarily feed on other insects.
What helps to pollinate flowers that do not have bright colours and sweet smell?
Flowers that smell like rotting meat rely on carrion flies for pollination. They pollinate as it normally does but instead of pollinators or insects to help it pollinate, other resources like wind, help the pollen get around easily due to is light weight
Do African honeybees pollinate flowers?
Yes, African honeybees pollinate flowers. The insects in question (Apis mellifera scutellata) sip upon nectar and take away pollen, just like other bees. They therefore will have to be considered, despite their invasive aggressiveness, among the world's beneficial insects and insect pollinators.
How do nettles pollinate?
Nettles are wind-pollinated plants. Their tiny, inconspicuous flowers produce abundant pollen that is carried by the wind to other flowers for pollination. Nettles do not rely on insects or other animals for pollination.
Why do plants make nectar?
Nectar is the reward that a plant offers to attract flying insects to visit it. In visiting the plant the insects carry pollen on their bodies to other flowers and so pollinate them.
Can honey bees pollinate plants other than flowers?
Yes, honey bees can pollinate plants other than flowers. For example, in California, honey bees are absolutely essential to pollinate the almond trees.
Describe how animals help pollinate flowers?
Animals help to pollinate flowers by landing on them and collecting pollen on their legs. This pollen is distributed to other flowers when that animal lands on it.
Can monarch butterflies pollinate flowers?
Yes, monarch butterflies can indirectly help pollinate flowers as they visit them for nectar. While they are not as efficient as bees or other insects, their movements between flowers can help transfer pollen and facilitate pollination.
What pollinates a daisy?
Bees, butterflies, and other flying insects are known to pollinate daisies. They visit the flowers in search of nectar or pollen, and as they move from flower to flower, they transfer pollen, aiding in fertilization.
Why are flowers generally colorful and fragrant?
Flowers' colours and scents are a sort of advertising, and are primarily to attract insects -- particularly bees -- to come and take nectar. In the process of doing so they will transfer pollen from one flower to the next, thus fertilizing the flower enabling it to produce seed and, where appropriate, fruit. Without pollination there would be no next generation of flowers.
