About pollination Pollination is all about reproduction. Pollination describes the transfer of pollen (the male part of the equation) to the stigma (the female part of the flower). Successful pollination leads to fertilisation, which in turn means seeds and fruit. As bees fly from flower to flower, they are carrying pollen. If you look at a bee buzzing about in your garden you may notice yellow or white grains packed around their legs or dusted on their bodies. Many plants can only reproduce (that is produce seeds which are often encased in fruits we eat), if they receive pollen from another compatible plant. This mechanism evolved to prevent self-fertilisation and increases genetic diversity. In some plants, such as kiwi fruit, male and female flowers are even carried on separate plants. Pumpkins, zucchini and squash also have separate male and female flowers and so rely on bees for cross-pollination and the formation of fruit. Without bees we must hand pollinate to ...
