Bats Pollinate Tequila. Bats are attracted to agave blooms for their sweet nectar. These three species evolved with the agave plant and pollinate. — bats are the og pollinators of the plants that tequila comes from, blue agave. — rodrigo medellín, a biologist and conservationist at unam, says bats are a natural pick to help save the plant. And cropping in monoculture eliminates genetic diversity created by natural pollination, potentially leaving agave susceptible to disease and pests. As they slurp nectar, bats collect grains of pollen on their fur, wings, and faces. yes, a handful of species of bats are responsible for pollinating those monumental, elegant, robust flowers that. — on large scale industrial operations, farmers harvest the plant before it flowers, reducing the food available for bats; — weak, genetically identical plants grown from clones, make for hungry bats and put the tequila industry at risk. as the tequila industry surges, the early harvesting and cloning of agave are disrupting the ecosystem of some species. bats serve a critical role in dispersing pollen from the blooming agaves — when the agaves are in the throes of dying — to keep plant growth cycles going.
