Blossom and Insect

1965 • Directed by

Siegfried Bergmann

Documentary

The film proves that the apparently ideally and extremely purposefully coordinated relationships between flowers and the insects that pollinate them are nothing other than the result of a very long period of natural selection and mutual adaptation. Phenomena that contradict the preservation of the species must die off. The example of the bee and the red clover illustrates that contradictory relationships can be cultivated artificially.
