Pollination about bees

        Pollination



Bees are important to humans because they are insects that we rely on to provide some of our foods like nuts, tomato, eggplant and more. Pollination is when pollen transfers to the male part called the stamen and then pollen moves to the woman part called the pistil where it fertilise.  They grow into seeds. 


Bees are fabulous pollinators because they have been gathering pollen most of their life and so far bees are the best pollinators out of birds, wind and water. Bees are hairy and pollens get stuck in their fur or wings and so when they pass by flowers or land on other flowers, they leave the pollens behind.


Some of bees species live in soil and make a nest in it, while some species live in plants, they drill a hole in plants stems or wood.
Did you know that if we didn't have bees, there will be no flowers and fruits we love to eat and also there will be no honey for our toasted bread?     By: Caitlyn
