Can Pollination be done manually on Flowering Plants?

I have noticed that there have been NO BEES. I live in Missouri, in St Louis County, and I was wondering about any adverse effects on flowering plants and trees.





I have mostly azaleas, tulips, flowers and some fruit trees.





I was wondering if pollination of these plants can be done manually?

Well, yes, but to what end? Pollination is needed for production of fruit/seed. If your plants are mostly decorative then what%26#039;s the reason.





Some plants are %26quot;wind pollinated%26quot; Bees help, but may not be necessary.





You can manually pollinate the fruit blossoms with an artist%26#039;s paint brush, but that sure sounds like a lot of work.
Reply:Yes, just take a small paint brush and go from flower to flower.





If you want one particular flower then use fresh brush and mate the two flowers and then put a plastic bag over the flower to keep it from getting pollinated again
Reply:YES
Reply:Leave it alone and let nature take it%26#039;s course. Too much damage has been done to nature by people helping.
