What is it about?
Buzz pollination describes the inetraction between plants with specialised floral morphologies and bees that use vibrations to extract pollen from them. Here I describe how the vibrations produced by a bee are affected by its morphology and behaviour, and suggest that the transmission of these vibrations to the plant depends on the biomechanical properties of flowers.
