Default TED talk pollination film
I know that edible bananas don't rely on pollination to set fruit, but wild species do, so I figured I could post this in the main banana discussion.

I had not seen this incredible film on pollination that was shown as part of a TED talk by Louie Schwartzberg.

Just the film:
The beauty of pollination - YouTube

The entire TED talk and film:
Louie Schwartzberg: The hidden beauty of pollination | Video on TED.com

Absolutely beautiful and incredibly photography. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I loved seeing the bat carrying its young while flying. I never even thought about where the baby bats are when the parents are feeding.

I had exactly the same reaction. Seems like it's got to be hard enough to fly without your baby hanging on you!

Very cool! I like how the humming bird used the air coming off it's wings to keep the bee at bay.
