Article Synopsis
- Female bees exhibit a unique buzzing behavior when foraging for pollen, which is important for about 20,000 unrelated plant species, indicating this trait has evolved independently numerous times.
- Despite previous theoretical models on the energetics of buzz pollination, no experimental studies had confirmed these hypotheses until now.
- The current study introduces a straightforward and inexpensive apparatus to measure the impact of buzz-frequency energy on pollen liberation, allowing researchers to quantitatively analyze the relationship between buzzing frequencies and pollen output in various flower types.
