Thank a Bee

Do you like fruit?

Thank a bee.

In order for a fruit to grow pollen has to move from the the stamen of one flower to the pistil of another flower.

How do bees help?

Bees like to drink nectar . . . the sweet liquid in flowers.

As a bee travels drinking nectar, it moves pollen from flower to flower.

This is called pollination.  Once a flower has been pollinated a fruit begins to grow.

What is inside a fruit?  Seeds!

So next time you see a bee, say thank you for all the wonderful fruits that we get to eat.
