Many Araceae are pollinated by Coleoptera. However, other pollinators are also important for the pollination of several neotropical genera. This video depicts the pollination of Monstera deliciosa, a widespread neotropical Araceae by workers of Plebeia droryana. The bees actively collect pollen which is temporarily stored at their corbiculae.
