Pollination
Hello my name is Hayden and today we are gonna look at the process of pollination.There are 2 types of ways to pollinate like bee pollination and wind pollination. Wind pollination is when the wind blows really hard and the pollen of plants blow away and randomly will land on another flower or something else like your car so let’s Get INTO IT!
1.First a worker bee which is a female goes and lands on the flower on the anther which is supported by the filament both the stamen (Male parts of a flower.
2.The Pollen from the pollen grains on the anther which is a part of the stamen (Male) part of a flower.
3.Also the Bee sucks up Nectar from the flower which they later make into honey.
4.The flower sticks onto the legs of a female Worker bee and when it goes onto another flower some of the pollen drops so the bee is spreading it so all the flowers can share pollen.
5.So the Bee shares the pollen around and the bee also gets Nectar which they soon turn into honey.
6.Pollinated flowers reproduce and get made into fruit or vegetables.
7.The Worker bees make honey out of the nectar they got and they feed it to the queen while the other bees eat pollen because pollen is healthy for bees.
Then this cycle keeps on going on until winter because honey bees cluster and group together but Bumblebees don’t cluster meaning all the bumblebees except the queen bee die.Bees also lands on the male parts of a flower and the pistil (female) parts of the flower are the ones that attract Bees,butterflies and hummingbirds, it’s not just Bees that pollinate.Bees are important so BYEEEEE!
Hey Hayden,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post about bees and pollination. You have shared many interesting facts here. I think my favourite fact would be that it is not just bees that pollinate. Next time it would be great to have some images to match what you have written - you could even use piktochart to create an infographic for this!
Thank you! Miss Morgan for sharing on what I can improve on. Thank you for your positive comment on my pollination writing I don't usually get comments on my blog.
