| Â | Pollination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Pollination management is a branch of horticulture that seeks to protect and enhance present pollinators and often involves the culture and addition of pollinators in monoculture situations, such as commercial fruit orchards. | | | The other trend is the decline of pollinator populations, due to pesticide misuse and overuse, new diseases and parasites of bees, clearcut logging, decline of beekeeping, suburban development, removal of hedges and other habitat from farms, and public paranoia about bees. | | | Other kinds of bees are also cultivated as pollinators. |

| | Insect pollination: Many of the "bird-pollinated" proteas are visited by large numbers of beetles - up to 2000 insects may occur in a single flower-head. | | | A feature of protea pollination is that pollen is deposited by the anthers onto a modified tip of the style (called the pollen presenter). | | | However, certain proteas are exclusively visited by insects: Smaller Protea (the Shale Proteas) and Leucospermum species are insect pollinated, mainly by bees and wasps; Leucadendron species are visted by a number of beetles; and most of the smaller genera are visited by a variety of beetles, flies and wasps. |

| Â | UGA Honey Bee Program - Pollination - Pollination Background |
| | Both solitary and social species are important in crop pollination, but the social species - namely honey bees and bumble bees - are more easily managed. | | | Generally, growers are receiving less "free" pollination from wild bees and increasingly they must make up for this by renting managed honey bee hives during bloom periods. | | | Many valuable crops benefit from insect pollination; the transfer of pollen from the male parts of a flower to the female part of a flower. |

| Â | Chapter 7: Small Fruits and Brambles |
| | In general, modern grape specialists seem to have assumed that if some fruit set in a cluster in the absence of pollinating insects the plant was self-fertilizing, or wind pollinated, and any difference between "no special pollination problem" and "maximum production of quality fruit" was ignored. | | | The pollination picture is further clouded by the fact that these have been intercrossed and selected for self-fertility, and that the observations have been reported over a long period of time, from different areas and at different stages in the development of a cultivar. | | | Reimer and Detjen (1910) and Olmo (1943) gave major credit to honey bees and flies, Steshenko (1958) to honey bees, Barskii (1956) reported that honey bees increased the weight of grape clusters by 23 to 54 percent, and Davydova (1969) associated pollinating insect visitation with increased yield and improved quality of grapes. |

| | Pollination management is a branch of horticulture that seeks to protect and enhance present pollinators and often involves the culture and addition of pollinators in monoculture situations, such as commercial fruit orchards. | | | Wind pollination, depending as it does on statistical chance for successful pollination, requires vast quantities of pollen, which may be forcefully ejected by the anther sac (as in grasses and ragweed) or may be exposed (as in cones and catkins) to the slightest breeze. | | | The largest managed pollination event in the world is in California almonds, where nearly half (about one million hives) of the US honeybees are trucked to the almond orchards each spring. |
