Pollination - Apiphily

Trees and plants do not move around. How will they populate their species without interacting with other members of their species. Simple solution: call in guests and make them carry your pollen to spread love in the air.

 

This little bee was pollinating this tiny flower, while getting nectar to fill its tummy and to take back to its hive. Note its hind legs and bottom of abdomen laden with yellow shaded pollen grains.

 

Such mutual coexistence and altruistic dependence is called as "Apiphily", which means bee-friendship or "Love-Through Bees". For these plants and flowers, Love is truly in the air, carried by these beautiful winged insects!
