Sea Bees Pollinate Aquatic Plants

[joel]

For a few decades now, scientists have noticed the presence of tiny sea creatures (usually sowbug like crustaceans called isopods and also worms, plus more microscopic organisms), often many of them, clustering on aquatic plants long thought to be water pollinated. And certain of them began to wonder what they were doing there.

And it now looks like some of them, at least, are aquatic pollinators. “Sea bees,” scientists have been jokingly calling them, although none so far has turned out to be an actual insect. And certainly, none looks anything like a bee!
