Anne Leonard, a pollination biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno.

内华达州立大雷诺分校传粉生物妮·伦纳德说道。

She describes a flower field as a sort of pollination marketplace.

她将花田描述为一个授粉市场。

It gives those plants a competitive advantage in the world of pollination.

这使得这些植物在授粉方面具有竞争优势。

Bees pollinate, and without pollination we cannot produce food. It's as simple as that.

蜜蜂还可以授粉，而如果没有授粉，我们就无法生产粮食。道理就是这么简单。

So imagine a world where that pollination process is not taking place.

我们不敢想象没有授粉世界会是什么样子。

See, pollination is one of the most important, biological processes on our planet.

授粉是地球上最重要生物过程之一。

The problem is more widespread in California because of the huge pollination event.

由于大规模授粉活动，这个问题在加利福尼亚州更为普遍。

That's an important early part of the pollination process.

这是授粉早期一个重要部分。

There must be a possibility of developing a mechanical solution to the pollination challenge.

我们必须研究出一种机决方案来决授粉这个挑战。

Helpful for crops like these almond trees in California which have short pollination windows.

有助于像这些在加利福尼亚州杏树有短期授粉窗口作物。

As a major exporter of fruit, successful pollination of fruit trees is important for Chile.

作为水果主要出口国，果树授粉成功对智利非常重要。

Beekeepers in California are preparing for one of the largest pollination events in the world.

加利福尼亚州养蜂人正在为世界上最大规模授粉活动之一做准备。

Instead, researchers can study the DNA left on flowers and insects to map pollination networks.

取而代之，研究者可以通过检测留在花和昆虫身上 DNA，进而绘制它们授粉网络图。

I asked how many of the top 50 world crops rely on insect pollination.

我问世界前50种农作物中有多少依靠昆虫授粉。

Pollination from insects, mainly bees, contribute up to $181 billion worth to the agri food industry annually.

昆虫（主要是蜜蜂）授粉每年为农业食品产业贡献高达1810亿美元价值。

Earlier in the school year, students in Soule's fourth-grade class had outdoor lessons on things like pollination and erosion.

在本年早些时候，索尔四年级生们在户外上了授粉和风蚀之类课程。

Fewer bees reduces pollination levels, meaning fewer new seeds are created and fewer crops grown.

蜜蜂数量较少降低了授粉水平，那意味着产生新种子更少以及长成农作物更少。

Of the world's top 50 crops, how many rely on insect pollination?

在世界前50种农作物中，有多少种依靠昆虫授粉？

The researchers chemically optimized their soapy solution to make bubbles that were mechanically stable and actually enhanced the pollination process.

研究人员用方法优了他们肥皂溶液，使之产生机稳定气泡，从而增强授粉过程。

Pollination is the process in which pollen is taken from one plant to another so that it can reproduce.

授粉是指将花粉从一株植物传到另一株植物以进行繁殖过程。
