Because people eat honey and like flowers they pay way more attention to the relationships between bees and flowers than they do to the many relationships between other arthropods and various plants.
I've been reading a really good book about how plants sense and respond to their environment.
Did you know that some plants respond to the *sound* of water? No, not the moisture levels... just the noise that it makes.
The book is called "The Light Eaters" By Zoe Schlanger.
