The Ngram viewer looks at a database of 500 billion words from scanned
books (the Google Books project). This tool provides a digital
database for humanities studies (see an interesting article in Nature 23
June 2011, p. 436-440 about its inventors). I thought it would be
interesting to look at the use of a few words relevant to pollination
biologists. <br><br>
