| BEES |
|
Have you ever looked at a bee ? If you ever spot a bee on a flower, why don't you carefully take a closer look? If you look carefully, you might be able to see many tiny hairs. The hairs hold something that looks like bits of dust. This "dust" is called pollen and pollen is food that the bee takes from the flowers. The bee flies from flower to flower and plant to plant. From some plants it carries away pollen. On other plants it drops off pollen. In this way the bee carries pollen from one plant to another. The pollen helps new plants to grow. While the bee gets food, it is also starting new plants. |
