self-fertilization can‚ and does occur. Self-pollination creates a more uniform offspring and allows plants to be less resistant as a whole to disease. Even though it is counterproductive‚ self-pollination does not expend energy on attracting pollinators and can spread beyond areas where suitable pollinators can be found. A plant that has to be cross-pollinated cannot mature and grow independently‚ because it is dependent on receiving pollen from another plant. Cross-pollination allows for diversity

The simplicity that is pollination is one that we as a race would have a hard time living without. Not only because of the food yield‚ but also the economic impact the industry has had in the last century. The act of pollination has been industrialized for a while now. Some people have even linked the act back to ancient Egypt around 2400 years ago (History of Beekeeping‚ 2010). Since then the practices have gradually moved into the United States and we have begun to see just how important these

Co evolution is the evolution of two or more interdependent species‚ each adapting to changes in the other. It occurs‚ for example‚ between predators and prey and between insects and the flowers that they pollinate. (www.dictionary.com) This relationship between two species allows for their existence. They work together to ensure the survival of the other. The Bumble Bee Orchid (Ophrys bombyliflora) is a species of orchid that closely resemble a female bumble bee in both looks as well as smell
