Wax is desirable to pollinators because it serves as a protective barrier, helping to shield pollen and nectar from moisture and decay. Additionally, many pollinators, such as bees, use wax to build and maintain their hives, creating a safe environment for their young. The sweet aroma of wax can also attract pollinators, enhancing their foraging experience. Overall, wax plays a crucial role in the life cycle of pollinators and the plants they support.
The biological relationship between a plant and its pollinator is known as mutualism. In this relationship, the plant provides food (nectar or pollen) for the pollinator, while the pollinator assists in the plant's reproduction by transferring pollen between flowers.
Think of a plant that has bees as its one type of pollinator. The pollen would be taken long distances to other plants of the species and good genetic recombination would ensue from this. Also, a plant spread out like this would have many different micro environments to flourish in and the variations of this plant could do better in one of these environments. The obvious disadvantage would be if your pollinator succumbed to some disease or other local natural disaster.
Pollinators primarily feed off nectar and pollen from plants. Nectar serves as a sugary food source, providing energy for the pollinator, while pollen offers essential proteins and nutrients necessary for their growth and reproduction. Together, these resources support the pollinator's life cycle and facilitate the crucial process of plant reproduction through pollination.
No, Bosc pear trees are self-pollinating, meaning they don't require another tree nearby to produce fruit. However, having a pollinator nearby can increase fruit production and quality.
The prefix of "desirable" is "de-".
no newt is not a pollinator
Tui and Bellbird are conspicuous honey eaters in New Zealand, but the more numerous wax-eye is the main pollinator of peaches and almonds at my home.
A pollinator garden is a garden planted with plants that will attract insects to the selected flowers.
Usually the pollinator gets nectar from the flower, also surplus pollen.
No, the Nanking cherry does not require a pollinator to produce fruit.

Yes
That the pollinator is nocturnal, something like a moth or a bat
No, olive trees do not require a pollinator to produce fruit as they are self-pollinating.
a newt
a newt !
It is a pollinator.
