The Pitcher Plant and the Bee

This Memorial Day weekend I went for my first visit to the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden off of Independence Boulevard in Wilmington, North Carolina. I discovered an array of pitcher plants including the species pictured Sarrancenia Leucophylla. It was fascinating how many Bumble Bees or (Class: Insecta, Order: Hymenoptera, Family: Apidae, Genus: Bombus, and unsure of this species?) were flying around the plants and even crawling into them. I began to wonder if the bees had a strictly mutualistic relationship with the pitcher plants acting solely as pollinators. Also, I saw quite a few bees get stuck in the tubes of the pitcher plant and it appeared that the pitcher plant could be acting as a predator to the bees. Were the pitcher plants luring them into their tubes to provide a source of mineral nutrients for the plant? After doing some research, I found that it is not evolutionarily beneficial for pitcher plants to consume their own pollinators, thus why they have two distinct parts for each function. The flowering part of the pitcher plant (shown in the background of the photo) is the part responsible for attracting pollinators.

Stingless bees play an essential role in the fertilization of plant species, and are the main pollinators of many plants in the Brazil. The majority of these plants are bisexual, requiring an external agent for carrying pollen from one flower to another. According to Johnson & Hubbell (1974), Meliponinae make up the greatest share of insect biomass feeding on pollen and nectar. The massive presence of these insects in the flowers makes up such an ecological complex and such an interaction, that without plants, bees would disappear within two months. Likewise, without bees, the many flowering plant species would disappear within one or two generations.

Blue Bottle Fly - Calliphora vomitoria

The blue bottle fly or bottlebee is a common blow-fly found in most areas of the world and can be distinguished by its bright blue metallic coloring. Blue bottle fly adults feed on nectar, while the larvae feed on carcasses of dead animals. Adults are also pollinators to some flowers with strong odor.
