The aim of this project is to document instances of bees collecting pollen from grasses. Although all grasses are wind-pollinated and have no need for insect based pollination, bees will still opportunistically collect their pollen. Since female grass inflorescences do not produce pollen or nectar, bees have no reason to visit them, which makes this behavior a case of "pollen robbing."

All observations in this project must depict a bee actively visiting a grass inflorescence rather than just being present on a grass leaf. less ↑
