Given the problem of the declining population of bees globally, it is necessary to implement measures that contribute both to the protection of these pollinating insects and the development of assisted pollination systems (Roubik, 1989). An alternative to the cultivation of certain species is through the use of greenhouses that allow a better environment for the species in question. But at present the greenhouses for creeper plants in which the present research work is focused, do not have a pollination that allows a high efficiency in their process. For which the use of artificial methods is proposed to achieve assisted pollination based on the use of forced vibration and convection that allows production to be optimized. The design consists of elements that produce vibratory oscillations, so that the pollen is dispersed among the plants, thus achieving a more optimal production. The fundamentals of frequency range to be developed by the vibration device and the system model are presented. As well as the parameters and physical variables involved in the process, thus seeking to provide an alternative that allows for effective pollination in the face of the imminent decline in the population of pollinator species.
