Pollination — Bees Feed the World

Pollination is how flowering plants make seeds to grow new plants! Inside each flower, there is a powdery substance called POLLEN. For a plant to make seeds and fruit, pollen needs to travel from one flower to another of the same species. This is where bees come in! When a bee lands on a flower to drink nectar, pollen sticks to the fuzzy hairs all over its body. When the bee visits the next flower, some of that pollen rubs off — POLLINATION! This is how plants reproduce.
