Pollination of Grapes

The grape flower is one of the smallest on Earth. The distance from stamen to pistil is so tiny that the merest vibration from a breeze can transfer the pollen and fertilize the uva.

Thus (and this is not widely known), bees are not needed to pollinate grapes. However, that doesn't mean that some bees won't do it anyway, pollen-thieves that they are ;)

And the fleeting scent of grape blossom is truly one of life's greatest scents.

Welcome, Spring!
