Pollination plays a significant role in the agriculture sector and serves as a basic pillar for crop production. Plants depend on vectors to move pollen, which can include water, wind, and animal pollinators like bats, moths, hoverflies, birds, bees, butterflies, wasps, thrips, and beetles. Cultivated plants are typically pollinated by animals. Animal-based pollination contributes to 30% of global food production, and bee-pollinated crops contribute to approximately one-third of the total human dietary supply. Bees are considered significant pollinators due to their effectiveness and wide availability. Bee pollination provides excellent value to crop quality and quantity, improving global economic and dietary outcomes. This review highlights the role played by bee pollination, which influences the economy, and enlists the different types of bees and other insects associated with pollination.
授粉在农业领域发挥着重要作用,是作物生产的基本支柱。植物依靠传粉媒介来传播花粉,传粉媒介可以包括水、风以及蝙蝠、蛾、食蚜蝇、鸟类、蜜蜂、蝴蝶、黄蜂、蓟马和甲虫等动物传粉者。栽培植物通常由动物授粉。基于动物的授粉贡献了全球30%的粮食产量,蜜蜂授粉的作物约占人类膳食供应总量的三分之一。由于蜜蜂授粉效率高且分布广泛,它们被视为重要的传粉者。蜜蜂授粉对作物的质量和产量具有极高的价值,改善了全球经济和饮食状况。本综述强调了蜜蜂授粉在影响经济方面所起的作用,并列举了与授粉相关的不同种类的蜜蜂和其他昆虫。
