The length of the tube prevents short-tongued insects from getting the nectar. Mueller thinks the honey bee can obtain only a pait of the nectar. The stamens and pistil mature at the same time. An insect in sucking the nectar first comes in contact with the pollen, then with the stigma which is in- serted lower down. Pollen does not adhere to a dry surface but, must be moistened with nectar. Self-pollination
