(a) The two types of desirable approaches are : Insitu conservation (ON site conservation) and Ex situ conservation (Off-site conservation).

(b) Commensalism : If the female bee's colour patterns change even slightly due to any reason during evolution, pollination success will be reduced unless the orchid flower co-evolves to maintain the resemblance of its petal to the female bee.
