Same as when folks talk to their plants. They sense the vibration from you voice and the tone.
Where do you draw the line between “hearing” and “sensing vibration”?
Do pollinators have ears? Without ears is it possible to hear?
Hearing is just sensing vibration at specific frequencies. You can feel sounds through your skin if loud enough.
It makes sense for a plant to lure specific types of pollinators and not waste energy on making nectar all the time or attract pests.
