A honeybee drinking water. Melittology (from Greek μέλιττα, melitta, "bee"; and -λογία-logia) is a branch of entomology concerning the scientific study of bees.It can also be called apiology or apicology.
Baltimore Checkerspot (Euphydryas phaeton) nectaring at daisy (Argyranthemum)Pollination syndromes are suites of flower traits that have evolved in response to natural selection imposed by different pollen vectors, which can be abiotic (wind and water) or biotic, such as birds, bees, flies, and so forth through a process called pollinator-mediated selection.
The pollination syndrome for P. microphylla is melittophily, with bee and wasp pollinators including Xylocopa amamensis, Cerceris yuwanensis, and Hylaeus insularum. [4] There are no major diseases or insect pests known. [6] There is some evidence that sika deer will nibble on the tree occasionally. [16]
A rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) is attracted to brightly colored flowers and assists the pollination of the plant.Zoophily, or zoogamy, is a form of pollination whereby pollen is transferred by animals, usually by invertebrates but in some cases vertebrates, [1] particularly birds and bats, but also by other animals.
Staheliomyces is a fungal genus in the stinkhorn family.The genus was considered monotypic for over 100 years, containing the single neotropical species Staheliomyces cinctus, until a 2022 study revealed four additional, cryptic species.
Hmmm. And melittophily apparently leads to pollination syndromes. I'm not sure about that -there is mostly text on the form of flowers there, but this is not much either: Zoophily#Bee pollination (melittophily), and there's not much specific at all at entomophily either.

Male genitalia of Lepidoptera. The main component of the male reproductive system is the testicle, suspended in the body cavity by tracheae and the fat body.The more primitive apterygote insects have a single testis, and in some lepidopterans the two maturing testes are secondarily fused into one structure during the later stages of larval development, although the ducts leading from them ...
