Under the microscope pollen grains reveal complex shapes for species survival. Floyd Moeller of UW Madison describes pollen as the plant world's sperm, carrying genetic information essential for fertilization and seed formation.
Pollen movement varies by pollinator. Wind carries pollen for many plants while bees and other insects boost cranberry yields. Cranberry plants are usually insect pollinated yet can self fertilize. Bee cross pollination generally yields more and higher quality fruit. yields may quadruple with bee pollination.
National Weather Service records show daily highs from 73 to 75, lows from 50 to 52, and average values from 62 to 64 for Eau Claire for May 31 to June 6. The report notes insect-pollinated plants use attractants like odor and nectar, with some reflecting ultraviolet light to lure bees.
Insects feed on pollen from plants which also aids pollination. Pollen quality varies by plant species with corn pollen being 60 percent as effective as clover for raising young bees. Box elder is nutritious but bees prefer sweet clover for aroma and other traits.
