| Bee on sunflower |
Perhaps it's easy for some to see the bee on the sunflower 🌻 or perhaps it's not for others.
Can you find the bee on the sunflower 🌻 in both pictures.
Hint: The bee blends in with the sunflower's colors.

Bees in your garden can improve pollination.
What is pollination?
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from stamens to pistils or from staminate strobili to ovulate strobili. Without pollination, there can be no union of the male and female gametes, and therefore fertilization of the ovule cannot occur. If fertilization does not occur, there will be no fruit and, thus, no seeds.
Pollen is dispersed from one flower to another mainly by wind (botanists call this anemophily) and by insects (entomophily).
Some information about pollinating from the book:
