Introduction Pollination and Pollinators Pollination, the transfer of pollen from one flower to another, is a keystone process in both human-managed and natural terrestrial ecosystems. Pollination is one of the most important mechanisms in the maintenance and promotion of biodiversity and, in general, life on Earth. It is an ecosystem process that has evolved over millions of years to benefit both flowering plants and pollinators. Pollination is critical for food production and human livelihood and

catalytic activity of hematin for dye degradation. 92% color removal was noticed for 75 mg l_1 solutions. They presented their results using Doehlert array. They noticed hematin as an effective azo dye removing agent. Boucherit et al. (2013) used Cucurbita pepo (courgette) peroxidase to decolorize Direct Yellow (DY106) and azo dyes. They also noticed the effect of temperature, pH, concentration of H2O2 and enzyme on degradation. The decolourization of DY106 was verified by UV-Vis analysis.

Science that deals with study of materials or any particles that is so small and measured in nanometer scale is called “Nanoscience”. Study about very small particles and its chemical and physical changes at nanoscale is not an easy business. Nanotechnology studies the big picture of those small particles, manipulates them to advance new devices and materials. The name “nanotechnology” was created in year 1974 (Nowack & Bucheli, 2007). But the concept of manipulating Nano particles has been around
