Many plants conceal their pollen, requiring pollinators to use specialized methods, such as acoustic resonance pollen ejection, to achieve pollination. Pollinators with such capabilities are mainly ...

A new bee pollination study reveals that bee buzz pollination and bumblebee pollen collection may require as much energy as flight take-off, highlighting the hidden floral buzzing energy cost. Alexas ...
