- Importance as Pollinators - Bumble Bees of Wisconsin
When on a flower, bumble bees have the capacity to vibrate (by shivering their flight muscles) at particular frequencies to help dislodge pollen from the anthers of flowers This behavior is essential for pollinating fruits like tomatoes, where the pollen is held tightly on the anthers
- Bumble Bees Are Crucial Pollinators for Our Ecosystems
As pollinators, bumble bees transfer pollen between flowers, allowing plants to reproduce and set seed But what makes them so unique? In this article, we’ll delve into the fascinating world of bumble bees, exploring their characteristics and habits that make them essential pollinators
- Bumble Bees as Pollinators - Clemson University
Bumble bees are an effective alternative to labor-intensive manual pollination of greenhouse grown tomatoes, sweet peppers and strawberries The bumble bees' longer tongue and wing vibrating tendencies make them more efficient pollinators for some plant species
- Bumblebees: Unsung Heroes of Pollination and Ecosystems
Discover the vital role bumblebees play in pollination, their unique characteristics, and how to support these essential ecosystem heroes with our comprehensive guide
- Bumble Bees Are Most Important Pollinators
For pollination services many farmers prefer bumble bees because they pollinate more thoroughly The result of more thorough pollination is quicker fruit set and more and larger fruit Commercially available bumble bees have become big business for lately for berries, peppers, and hothouse tomatoes
- Why Bees are So Important to Nature - K5 Learning
