• An emerging paradigm of colony health: microbial balance of the honey bee and hive (Apis mellifera) (2011, background): “While the outermost pollen layer is lipid-rich and contains some proteins (Pacinia and Hesse, 2005), protein decreases recorded in the Aloe assay only seem possible if the pollen protoplasm has been somehow accessed and altered biochemically.”
• Flies and Flowers II: Floral Attractants and Rewards (2014, background): “The pollen of anemophilous plants tends to be smoother and has less of a pollenkitt (sticky or oily material on the outside of pollen grains) than that of entomophilous plants (Ackerman 2000, Pacini & Hesse 2005), so syrphids may not contribute significantly to pollination.”
• Function and Evolution of Aggregated Pollen in Angiosperms (2008, background): “(Dickinson et al. 2000, p. 302) During the final stages of pollen production, the tapetal cells lining the inner surface of an anther degenerate, coating the pollen grains with viscous pollenkitt or tryphine (Dickinson et al. 2000; Pacini and Hesse 2005).”
