Flowers, Bees, and... Yeast? It's a Pollination Love Triangle!

The video explores the intricate relationship between bees, flowers, and yeast. While bees are known to pollinate flowers, yeast plays a crucial role by altering nectar's scent and chemistry, which can affect pollinator behavior. Studies show that yeast not only helps bumblebee colonies grow but also suppresses harmful parasites. Additionally, yeast increases flower temperatures, making them more attractive to bumblebees. This mutually beneficial relationship highlights the complex interactions within ecosystems.
