Bee Orchids (Ophrys<\/i>)<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Overview<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The genus of Bee Orchids (Ophrys<\/i>) is in many ways extreme exciting. Bee Orchids have an interesting pollination physiology and an attractive flower structure. Furthermore, Bee Orchids hybridize easily. So far over 250 species are described, which are mainly in the Mediterranean area native. In addition, several species are newly described every year.<\/p>\n

Most Bee Orchids species have a differentiated developed, gorgeous and rather great lip, which should imitate species-specific a particular female insect. Generally male insects hatch in spring two to three weeks before female insects. At this time diverse Bee Orchids flower. For most species has mainwhile been proven an own pollination insect. During evolution the plants have succeeded to imitate female insects very good. Some species partly emit the corresponding sexual attractants (pheromones). The mark in the lip mid is often bluish and should imitate the wings of female insects, which often in sunlight bluish shimmer too. Also form, curvature and border hairiness of the lip serve for imitation. Now the deluded male insect tries to copulate the putative female insect. In the best case it gets drafted by the flower a pollinium during this procedure (The production of pollen, which are agglutinate to a pollinium, as a speciality of orchids is already detailed described on another page<\/a>). The ‚horned‘ male transfers the pollinium on the next flower to the stigma and fertilizes thereby the flower.<\/p>\n<\/div>
