Pollination takes place when bees or other pollinators pick up the pollen from a flower's stamen and transfer it to another flower's stigma as they move from flower to flower.When the pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower, it is termed as self-pollination whereas when the pollen grains of a flower land on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, or that of a different plant of the same kind, it is known as cross-pollination.
