  • plants from hybrid seed will produce seed readily by autopollination and give a greater yield even under low activity of pollinating insects
  • attempts to select auto-fertile varieties of economically important species have not generally been successful because inbreeding and loss of hybrid vigor have had a detrimental effect on yield
  • the emphasis nowadays is to increase growing hybrid seeds, and studies have been made regarding use of insects as vectors for cross-pollination.
  • Honeybees tend to have a restricted foraging area, with the result that most pollen is transferred to only within a few meters from its source Bumblebees (genus Bombus, in particular the Bombus terrestris) can be much more efficient pollinators than honeybees, as will now be explained
  • Bumblebees have a special pollen gathering technique, herein called “buzz pollination", which allows them to extract pollen from apically porous anthers and transport the pollen to stigmas
  • buzz pollination a special pollen gathering technique
  • the bumblebee grasps the anthers with its mandibles and tarsal claws and curls its body over the pores While hanging tightly onto the anther, the flight muscles of the bee transmit bursts of vibrational energy to the anther, the vibrational bursts being audibly detectable as a buzzing sound
  • the vibratory motion causes the pollen to be extracted from the anther
  • the pollen is harvested by adhering to the abdomen and other parts of the bee's body A relatively large amount of pollen can adhere to the bumblebee body because the b
  • Bumblebee pollination activity continues undisturbed even in low temperatures or inclement weather, or in enclosures, such as greenhouses Their navigation and orientation abilities are not disturbed under cover of radiation filtering sheets As a result of the abovementioned traits, for the same flower, bumblebees can harvest pollen about 400 times faster than a honeybee
  • honeybees tend to forage for pollen and nectar in one specific area of plants
  • the honeybees work together as an organized swarm and fly directly to this area from their nest without foraging elsewhere along the way After collecting nectar and pollen, the honeybees fly directly back to the nest, again without foraging elsewhere
  • the swarm of honeybees continues this process until all nectar and pollen have been harvested from the particular area, and only then do the bees leave and forage elsewhere, where they are led by scout bees
  • bumblebees do not forage in organized swarms Instead they tend to forage as independent wanderers, foraging for pollen and nectar from many varieties of plants and not necessarily in one specific area After collecting nectar and pollen, bumblebees will usually forage amongst other plants, scouting on their own, before flying back to their nest This
