How honey bees play a role in pollination of flowers:

In fact, for the first time, scientists have succeeded in identifying the point that after honeybees collect pollen and shake it, how much of it remains on the body of the bees and which part of the bee's body has the most unshaken pollen. .

The results of the investigations show that the remaining of pollen on the body of bees is closely related to the type of sitting on the flowers and the location of the reproductive organs of these plants. In fact, the pollination of flowers depends a lot on the way the bees shake their bodies and the location of the remaining pollen on the body of these insects.

To further investigate this issue, scientists placed a number of European Apis Mellifera bees along with larger Bombus Terrestris bees in a chamber full of pollen, so that these bees could fully collect pollen.

After transferring the bees to an empty chamber, they quickly began to shake their bodies and remove the pollen from it. However, after about half an hour of shaking pollen, there was still some pollen left on certain parts of the body of these insects. The parts that mainly included the top of the head, chest and lower abdomen.

After that, the said bees were transferred to a chamber full of pollen-producing and pollen-receiving flowers, so that their effect on the pollination process of flowers was carefully examined. A chamber equipped with fluorescent light that allowed scientists to observe the pollination process of flowers very closely and to know the amount of pollen left on the bees' bodies (next to the location of these pollens).
