Louie Schwartzberg The hidden beauty of pollination

The little things in life, sometimes that we forget about, like pollination, that we take for granted.

Do they allow for pollination, pollinator pathways that bees and butterflies and such can come back into our cities?

They communicate with plants of other species and they communicate with animals by producing chemical volatiles, for example, during the pollination.

At the species level, it's been estimated that insect based pollination, bees pollinating fruit and so on, is something like 190 billion dollars worth.

Now with the pollination, it's a very serious issue for plants, because they move the pollen from one flower to the other, yet they cannot move from one flower to the other.

This is a major concern because so much food depends on bees for pollination. The primary causes of this recent epidemic are germs and mites, but these have always been with us.

Many insects have been used by plants as vectors for the transport of the pollination, but not just insects even birds, reptiles, and mammals like bats rats are normally used for the transportation of the pollen.

There's a lot of cross pollination. The only problem, especially for the adults working at McSweeney's who hadn't necessarily bought into all of this when they signed up, was that there was just the one bathroom.

Pollination it's vital to life on Earth, but largely unseen by the human eye. Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg shows us the intricate world of pollen and pollinators with gorgeous high speed images from his film Wings of Life, inspired by the vanishing of one of nature's primary pollinators, the honeybee.
