Bees and pollination
Your child knows a bee helps a plant. Pollen sticks to the bee and rubs off on the next flower, so the plant can make seeds and fruit. Bees help grow our food.
In curriculum terms
Bees and pollination: how flowers and insects depend on each other. Bees visit flowers for nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies and transfers to the next flower. Without pollination many plants cannot make seeds or fruit. Why bees matter for the food we eat.
