Henderson’s Shooting Star (Primula hendersonii) has nodding flowers with swept-back petals expose the stamens and pistil, encouraging buzz pollination by native bees. The bees vibrate their flight muscles to shake pollen loose—a technique also used by bumblebees on tomatoes!

Yesterdays fact.
Sorry we were otherwise distracted.
Still relevant though!

Buzz pollination - in brief.
Bees rapidly contract their flight muscles. This produces powerful vibrations which they channel to the flower using their legs/mouths.
Result = a #pollen explosion all over the bee.
Happy bee!#bees #beesofmastodon #bumblebees

Buzz pollination (#sonication) in action! A beautiful native bee curled in her vibrating position against the tubular anthers of a Hibbertia flower.
Some plants, like this Hibbertia sp., have tubular anthers which can only be opened by a specific frequency of buzzing produced by the flight muscles of some native bees. Honey bees cannot perform #buzzpollination.Isn't she beautiful!
