Heard about Bee Friendly Farming or Gardening?

"Spot Your Flower" *
* Yes, you're right ... the film uses the word 'proboscis' incorrectly, for a 
moth's proboscis refers to their feeding tube, and would be more 
accurately described as a tongue. In contrast, proboscis usually refers to a nose in the vertebrate world (animals with a backbone). A majority of pollinators inadvertently spread flower pollen simply as they feed on pollen and nectar for their own nutritional needs. Do not be confused -- in this film clip featuring this particular orchid pollination, it is still plant pollen that is involved in pollination -- you can learn more about this wondrous, unusual strategy in Michael Pollan's musings Love and Lies.
