      No buzz pollinators no pollination, it would seem that both are needed at the same time for the symbiosis to work.

  • @DrawCuriosity

    1:39 - The buzzing sound actually isn't from the wings flapping, but from the thoracic muscles vibrating to move the wings. The act of vibrating in this way is known as sonication. :)

    • @Jorg05111980
      @Jorg05111980 6 лет назад +14

      It's clearly the wings making the sound though, just check closely...muscles do not make sound in itself, they create it

    • @AelwynMr
      @AelwynMr 6 лет назад +13

      Jorg Zoetebier I hope I remember this correctly: in the most modern flying insects, i.e. those that can fold their wings above their back (basically all but dragonflies), the muscles only work to pull down the upper part of the thorax, to which the wings are hinged. The muscles are then released and the wings flap down as the thorax elastically clicks back to its former shape. I think it is the sound caused by this deformation that we hear, but I may be wrong. This mechanism makes it so that the wings can beat twice more quickly than the muscles could flap them.

    • @AelwynMr
      @AelwynMr 6 лет назад +17

      Oh, another cool thing: the wings beat too fast for a nervous signal to reach them from the brain with each beat, despite how small the insect is and how quick neurons are. In the same group of insects, the flying muscles contract independently, out of internal impulses, and need only be turned on or off / up or down from the brain.

      It's true, but it's not every fig. The figs we eat are female. Female fig wasps lay eggs inside male figs and die inside them. Male figs are the ones we don't eat.

    If you grow potatoes and want some True Potato Seeds plant two different types close together and if they flower at the same time, the Bumble Bees will cross pollinate them. Its fascinating stuff. We now have about 25 unnamed varieties of potatoes. One potato fruit alone produced potatoes of 5 different colours. Blue Berries,Tomatoes and Potatoes are just 3 crops of many that need to be buz pollinated by Bumble Bees if fruits and seeds are required.

      I think you're talking about the proboscis, with the tongue inside. Cool how it folds up for flight.

      I wonder if that's where H.R. Giger got the idea. Glad bees are small and prefer to use their proboscis on flowers.

    That's another reason why bumblebees are way cuter than other regular bees.

    Bumble bees are so cute! I have some giant ones that live in my back yard, I love them, but get scared when they get a little close to my face while im working in the garden. 😂❤

    I though the bees eat the nectar of the flowers! If the bees eat the pollen as well, why do plants produce nectar, wouldn't the pollen itself attract the bees?

      Buzz-pollinated flowers encourage bees to eat the pollen directly instead of the nectar. You can read more about it here: ww2.kqed.org/science/2016/07/19/this-vibrating-bumblebee-unlocks-a-flowers-hidden-treasure/
