Mini-Blog: Who's That Pollinator?
Who's that Pollinator? It's WIND!! Did you know that many plants are pollinated by the wind?! This process is called anemophily, and many of the world's most important crops are wind pollinated like wheat, rice, corn, rye, barley and oats! Trees, like pines, spruces, and firs also reproduce through wind pollination!
Plants that are pollinated by wind do not display large flowers and do not produce any sort of smell, because they do not need to attract any organisms to help spread pollen! Instead, they produce many pollen grains, so when the wind blows in, they can be distributed to other members of their species.
Anemophily evolved before insects existed, but contributed to the rise of pollinating insects and animals! Early insects ate some of the pollen spread by anemophily, and over millions of years those insects evolved into bees, butterflies, and other pollinators we know today!
Ultimate Guide to Pollinators
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from an anther of a plant to the stigma of a plant, which makes fertilization and the production of seeds possible. Read on to discover the uniquely incredible world of pollination, which brings so many priceless gifts to our own world.
History of National Pollinator Month
