| | Pollen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pollen grains of pines, firs, and spruces are winged. | | | Pollen, or flower sperm, is a fine to coarse powder consisting of microgametophytes (pollen grains), which carry the male gametes of seed plants. | | | Pollen is produced in the microsporangium (contained in the anther of an angiosperm flower or male cone of a coniferous plant). |

| | Pollen basket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The pollen basket or corbicula is part of the tibia on the hind legs of various apid bees, including the honeybee (also bumblebees, stingless bees, and orchid bees). | | | The mixing of the pollen with nectar or honey changes the color of the pollen. | | | First, the pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the outside tibia of the hind legs. |

| | Pollen is a major food source for the bees and the “worker” bees travel from flower to flower collecting pollen in special “baskets” on their legs. | | | It is flower pollen that bees collect for food. | | | The nutrients in Bee Pollen are very concentrated. |

| | Pollen grains are also remarkable for the length of the tubes some must produce: corn pollen tubes may grow 8 or 10 in. | | | A beekeeper, seeing the bee collect pollen from flowers and carry it to the hive, says that it exists to gather honey. | | | The pollen grain is actually the male gametophyte gametophyte (gəmē`təfīt'), phase of plant life cycles in which the gametes, i.e., egg and sperm, are produced. |

| | Pollen grains of a species in the Asteraceae (sunflower family; the smaller grain on the left) and a species in the Cactaceae (cactus family; the larger grain in the backround). | | | Once pollen is produced it travels from one plant to another either by means of the wind or by animals, primarily insects. | | | One very precise strategy of pollen distribution occurs when pollen is collected by insects or other animals and is moved from one plant to another. |

| | Pollination Adaptations |
| | Pollination is the process of moving the pollen grain from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a carpel. | | | While nectar is mostly sugar and very high-energy food for bees and hummingbirds, pollen is a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. | | | Fortunately for plants, pollinators feed on pollen but are not fastidious in their own grooming, so they end up depositing at least a few pollen grains on the stigma. |

| | Pollen Allergy |
| | Most people have little contact with the large, heavy, waxy pollen grains of many flowering plants because this type of pollen is not carried by wind but by insects such as butterflies and bees. | | | The types of pollen that most commonly cause allergic reactions are produced by the plain-looking plants (trees, grasses, and weeds) that do not have showy flowers. | | | Other types must be cross-pollinated; that is, in order for fertilization to take place and seeds to form, pollen must be transferred from the flower of one plant to that of another plant of the same species. |

| | Bee Pollen |
| | William T. Jarvis, Ph.D. Bee pollen is plant pollen carried by bees to the hive where it is gathered by placing brushes at the hive's entrance knocking the pollen off the bees as they enter. | | | Considering its cost and cleanliness, bee pollen is best left to the bees. | | | Bee pollen is said to consist of 40% plant carbohydrate, 5% plant fat, and 5% plant protein--the remaining 50% is fungus, bacteria, insect body parts and hairs, mites, and bee fecal material [1]. |

| | Pollen grains were found attached to the stigmas in samples 121 and 256. | | | In addition, differences in pollen size may represent functional mating barriers, if the volume of the grain is proportional to its resource content, implying that larger grains contain more nutrients and thus have an increased likelihood of generating longer pollen tubes that have an increased chance of reaching the ovum for a fertilization event. | | | The purpose of this study was to compare pollen grains and stigmas from a number of plants of a perennial rye hybrid, using scanning electron microscopy to evaluate differences in size or surface features of the grains. |
