During buzz pollination, they make an intense buzzing sound. In the new study, researchers used high-speed cameras to see in detail how this happens.

Buzz pollination—a process in which bees extract pollen by vibrating flowers—occurs in more than 20,000 plant species. Among the most specialized examples are the wildflowers of the ...

As our areas of agricultural production grow, so are the demands for crop pollination, increasing the managed bee population and negatively impacting wild bees. It seems to be a compounding problem.

Buzz pollination, a process where bees vibrate flowers to release pollen, occurs in more than 20,000 plant species, including tomatoes and blueberries. The most extreme cases occur in Pedicularis ...

Bumblebees, though, can release stubborn pollen using buzz pollination, vibrating their wings while gripping the flower. About 20% of our native bees are specialists, ...

Pollination is an integral part of our ecosystem, ensuring the growth of a diversity of plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. From bees to hummingbirds to butterflies, pollinators support a ...

Buzz pollination occurs when the bee vibrates its thoracic muscles at a very high frequency. This causes the pollen to bounce off the anther of the flower and land on the fur of the bumble bee.

Native bees outperform honeybees with a phenomenon known as “buzz pollination,” which involves vibrating flowers at a certain frequency to release more pollen from each plant.
