Buzz pollination (#sonication) in action! A beautiful native bee curled in her vibrating position against the tubular anthers of a Hibbertia flower.
Some plants, like this Hibbertia sp., have tubular anthers which can only be opened by a specific frequency of buzzing produced by the flight muscles of some native bees. Honey bees cannot perform #buzzpollination.
Isn't she beautiful!
