A European honey bee like that which may have been studied in the 133 instances used, while it is pollinating a flower.[1]

Crop pollination is an essential part of an ecosystem. Ozone can have detrimental effects on biodiversity and plant-pollinator interactions. Pollinators carry pollen from one plant to another. This is an essential cycle inside of an ecosystem. Causing changes in certain atmospheric conditions around pollination sites or with xenobiotics could cause unknown changes to the natural cycles of pollinators and flowering plants. Detrimental effects can be seen from air pollution of ozone.[1] In a study conducted in North-Western Europe, crop pollinators were negatively effected more when ozone levels were higher.[1]
