Besides the wind, insects are the main pollinating agents and many of them are hymenopterans. However, among the 20,000 species of bees (Superfamily Apoidea), only a very restricted group has been domesticated for commercial crop pollination, including social and solitary species. The honey bee Apis mellifera L.

The purpose of the chapter is to provide an exemplar of an inquiry-based unit on pollination for designing and implementing constructivist instructional practices while simultaneously providing outstanding teacher preparation. The unit on pollination was developed by preservice teachers through a partnership between the Monmouth Conservation Foundation

The plight of pollinating bees
Bee World, 2005Pollinating animals (mostly bats, bees, beetles, birds, butterflies, flies, moths and wasps) provide almost incalculable economic and ecological benefits to humans, flowering plants and wildlife. Bees are the world's dominant pollinators, as the approximately 17 000 known bee species 7 collectively interact with most of the planet's quarter million ...

This chapter considers pollination by bees, or melittophily. The bee flower syndrome involves flowers that have medium to long corolla tubes, often pendant, usually zygomorphic (i.e., bilaterally symmetrical rather than radial), commonly with a landing platform with complex texture or ridging so that a bee can hang on easily, and often arranged in ...

This chapter summarizes how agricultural production and bees are inter-dependent. Honey bees are the most commonly used agricultural pollinators in the world, but are threatened by an increasing number of hive pests. In addition, not all crops are well pollinated by honey bees (e.g., tomatoes, alfalfa seed, and crops grown in greenhouses and under row ...

Crop Pollination by Stingless Bees
2018The stingless bees are very diverse in the tropics and subtropics of the world, consisting of nearly 600 species. Their morphological, biological, and behavioral traits make many of them efficient crop pollinators. Currently, field research has documented stingless bees as field crop pollinators in 12 tropical countries worldwide.
