    Study Notes

    Pollination in Plants

    • Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ of a plant to the female reproductive organ, allowing fertilization to take place.

    Importance of Cross-Pollination

    • Cross-pollination, the transfer of pollen between different plants, increases genetic diversity by allowing plants to exchange genetic material.

    Pollinators

    • Bees, butterflies, moths, birds, bats, and even humans can serve as pollinators, facilitating the reproduction of plants.

    Role of Bees in Agriculture

    • Bees play a crucial role in agricultural ecosystems by pollinating many crops, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts, contributing significantly to global food production.

    Decline of Pollinators

    • Habitat destruction, pesticide use, climate change, and varroa mite infestations are key factors contributing to the decline of pollinators, threatening the health of ecosystems and food security.
