How bees pollinate

  How Bees Pollinate


 Why do we need bees to pollinate?

The most important thing that bees do is pollinate flowers. 
If a plant is to reproduce it needs to be pollinated so that it grows
new seeds that grow into a new plant.  Many flowers produce nectar to attract bees.
When the bees push through the flower to get to the nectar the bees have to brush
past the stamens which leaves pollen on their furry coat. Then when the bees go to other
flowers the pollen on their bodies brush off on to the stigma and the pollen help make new seeds. 

Why is this important?


This is crucial because if the bee didn’t pollinate fruit and vegetables
then the fruit and vegetables won’t grow and we will have less food.
If the bees don’t pollinate the tomato plants then the tomatoes will not be able to
grow and wither away.
