Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Carryover of pollen grains and dye particles between Echium vulgare flowers was similar.
- Observation On average 93·8% of the dye particles on the bee were carried over to the next Echium vulgare flower.
- Observation Only a small fraction (0·15%) of pollen grains was deposited on the Echium vulgare stigma.
- Observation A much larger fraction (6·1%) of pollen was lost in another way than deposition on the stigma in Echium vulgare.
- Observation Bees removed 44% of the pollen grains from a fresh Echium vulgare flower.
- Observation Of the pollen removed from Echium vulgare, 50·3% adhered to the bee.
- Association Expected self-pollination of Echium vulgare is considerably less when bees visit previously visited flowers.
