Detailed explanation-1: -They are attracted to bright colors such as ORANGE, RED, YELLOW, PINK and PURPLE. An abundance of different flower shapes, sizes, scents and colors appeal to a variety of pollinators.
Detailed explanation-2: -Brightly colored flowers attract pollinators, and some flowers have ultraviolet pigments that only insects such as bees can see. Studies have shown that flowers that are red or have stripes attract bees most. The stripes act as a “landing strip” that indicates where the nectar and pollen are found in the flower.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flowering plants have evolved two pollination methods: 1) pollination without the involvement of organisms (abiotic), and 2) pollination mediated by animals (biotic). About 80% of all plant pollination is by animals. The remaining 20% of abiotically pollinated species is 98% by wind and 2% by water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bees are perhaps the most important pollinator of many garden plants and most commercial fruit trees (Figure 1). The most common species of bees are bumblebees and honeybees.
