In the wild, pineapples are pollinated primarily by hummingbirds. [2] [7] Certain wild pineapples are foraged and pollinated at night by bats. [8] Under cultivation, because seed development diminishes fruit quality, pollination is performed by hand, and seeds are retained only for breeding. [2]
Trees that are cross-pollinated or pollinated via an insect pollinator produce more fruit than trees with flowers that just self-pollinate. [1] In fruit trees, bees are an essential part of the pollination process for the formation of fruit. [2] Pollination of fruit trees around the world has been highly studied for hundreds of years.

In agriculture and horticulture pollination management, a good pollenizer is a plant that provides compatible, viable and plentiful pollen and blooms at the same time as the plant that is to be pollinated or has pollen that can be stored and used when needed to pollinate the desired flowers.
Some species, such as tomato, [4] pineapple, and cucumber, produce fruit in which there is no seed to be found if not pollinated but will produce seeded fruit if pollination occurs. Lacking seeds, and thus the capacity to propagate via the fruit, the plants are generally propagated vegetatively from cuttings, by grafting , or in the case of ...
The internet is buzzing about pineapple tea, including that it can relieve allergies, tame inflammation, and offer a “detox.” Here’s the truth.
Note: Pineapples don't get sweeter with age, but they do get juicier and softer. If you're going to cut it right away, pick one that has a little more give. If you're going to wait a bit, pick one ...
[100] [101] In fact, the most essential staple food crops on the planet, like wheat, maize, rice, soybeans and sorghum [102] [103] are wind pollinated or self pollinating, and only slightly over 10% of the total human diet of plant crops is dependent upon insect pollination. [102] Bees do not always die if they use their sting.
