How does pollination occur?
When a honeybee enters a flower, it shakes the long stalk (anther) which contains the pollen, and then attracts the pollen onto its body through an electrostatic charge that built up among its hairs during flight. Pollination occurs when the bee transports the pollen to another bloom, which usually results in fertilization and reproduction. Today, some areas of the country rent migratory honeybee colonies for short-term, managed pollination of orchards and farm crops.
