Recently, researchers at Harvard University have discovered that humidity and scent play an important role in the ability of pollinators to identify the right flowers for pollination. In a study published in the journal Nature, the researchers found that when flowers release scented water vapor in humid conditions, pollinators are more likely to identify and select flowers that are the most suitable for pollination. This finding could lead to more efficient pollination in agricultural settings. The researchers also suggest that increasing humidity and scent could help to attract the right pollinators to the right flowers. This could be a valuable tool for both farmers and gardeners.
