The importance of insects in pollinating flowers is today so well known, it is easy to forget that it was discovered less than 200 years ago. Before that, it was believed that the concern of bees with flowers was simply a matter of collecting honey. The methods by which pollen reaches the female flower, enabling fertilization and seed production to take place, include some of the most varied and fascinating mechanisms in the natural world. This guide describes all the ways pollination is effected - by wind, w even bats - but principally in many wonderful ways by a diversity of insect species.

First edition, 1996. Hardback. 479pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. The importance of insects in pollinating flowers is so well known it is easy to forget that it was discovered little more than two centuries ago: before that it was believed that the concern of bees with flowers was simply a matter of collecting honey. But the methods by which pollen reaches the female flower, enabling fertilisation and seed production to take place, include some of the most varied and fascinating mechanisms in the world. This book describes all the ways in which pollination is brought about - some of them being simply amazing and even bizarre. A great introduction to a complex but easily accessible subject of huge fascination. 8 colour plates and over 250 black & white photographs and drawings. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book in fine condition. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped. Spine rather faded. Book. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1308341
