Buzz pollination

The vibration pollination ( in English buzz pollination ) is a special form of pollination that is practiced exclusively by Real bees. The bees produce with their wing-beat frequencies through which the pollen is shaken out of the anthers and dusting the animals with the weakly bonded pollen.

Plants that spread their pollen in this way, for example, are the bugs plants Stegolepis, Xiphidium, Cassia, nightshade and some rainbow plant species.
