This process is called pollination. Bees transfer pollen from the male parts of one flower to the female parts of another flower, which is essential for fertilization and seed production in many plants.
Bees collect pollen on their hairy bodies as they move from flower to flower. The pollen sticks to their bodies and is then carried back to the hive in special pollen baskets on their hind legs. This pollen is used as food for the bees and to help pollinate other flowers.
As the bees (and other flying insects) move from flower to flower, they drink the nectar and carry pollen on their bodies from flower to flower. It is this cross-pollination that fertilises each flower and the flower can then produce seed for next season flowers.
Bees are fuzzy. How do you think this trait can help bees carry pollen?
Bees pollinate by visiting flowers to collect nectar and pollen for food. As they move from flower to flower, pollen sticks to their bodies and is transferred to other flowers, allowing them to fertilize the plants and produce seeds. This process is essential for plant reproduction and the production of fruits and vegetables.
