Pollinator

IMG_2889.JPG

This is a picture of bees. Bees represent an example of a pollinator. Pollinators are organisms that move pollen from one plant to another to reach fertilization. Pollen must be moved from the male anther to the female stigma of a flower in order for fertilization to proceed. Due to the bee's fuzzy bodies, the pollen sticks easily. With bees, other insects, vertebrates, non-bat mammals, and some reptiles are also known to be pollinators.
