Api selvatiche

View On Black

Melitta nigricans.

Tra le api ed i fiori c'è un patto simbiotico: in cambio di nettare e polline le api favoriscono l'impollinazione incrociata delle piante.

 

Wild bees.

Pollination is the process by which plants sexually reproduce. Many plants depend on insects to transfer pollen as they forage. Plants attract insects in various ways, by offering pollen or nectar meals and by guiding them to the flower using scent and visual cues. This has resulted in strong relationships between plants and insects.
