Bumble bees pollinated linden flowers 24 million years ago, fossil evidence shows
An international research team led by the Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research at the University of Vienna has made an extraordinary discovery: fossilized lime blossoms and fossilized bumble bees were found in 24-million-year-old sediments at the Enspel Fossil-Lagerstätte (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany)—along with evidence of their interaction in the form of preserved pollen grains. These findings show that bumble bees were already among the most important pollinators of linden (or…

Not all flower visitors are equally helpful to the flower; separately tracking bees that buzz to release pollen and bees that steal pollen from flowers in a bunch of Chamaecrista species shows how tracking visitation alone would misrepresent the interactions

Orchids are famous for specialized flowers that create species isolation by manipulating pollinators— but these ones don't have specialized pollinator relationships. Instead, they're isolated by pollen incompatibilities.
