Are bees attracted to ginger cardamom etc?
Bees are attracted to colors as well as scents. The flowers of the ginger plant attract birds more so then bees as the pollen is located to deep in the flower.
Why are flower petals coulerful?
So bees and insects are attracted to them and pollinate them for more flowers to come
Do hydrangeas attract bees?
Yes, a bit more then other flowers. No, its not really the smell, its the colors. Bees are attracted to bright, intricately patterned flowers.Hydrangeas are big, bold flowers with dark centers, and they are mostly flat flowers, meaning the bee doesn't have to go as far to get to the pollen.
Why are so many flowers white even though blue light attract more insects?
Some flowers depend on insects other than bees. Also, if a flower has a good amount of pollen, bees will be attracted to it regardless if the flower's color.White flowers stand out in poor light in the evening and early morning.
What types of plants have fragrance?
all plants just some humans cant smell but all flowers/plants must have smell and color or else bees would not be attracted to them and pollinate so we can more flowers more smells yay
Why are flowers generally colouful and fragment?
Flowers are generally colorful and fragrant to attract bees and other insects. Since flowers must remain stationary, they depend on other means for reproduction. Bees, for example, are attracted to bright, fragrant flowers because they use their nectar to make honey. The flowers, however, need the bees for fertilization and reproduction. When a bee lands on a flower, pollen gets stuck to their legs. As the bees then fly from flower to flower, they deposit the previous flower's pollen, unknowingly fertilizing new flowers and allowing them to reproduce. By attracting more bees (by enhancing their colors and fragrance), the flowers are increasing their own survival.
More bees to your garden?

Why are bees hairy?
Bees incidentally collect pollen for pollenating plants when they are attracted to something about a flower (nectar, UV patterns, etc). When they fly from flower to flower, they are transferring gametes from flower to flower, a classic symbiotic relationship where both the bee and plants benefit. This part I am not sure about: The idea is that if a bee is more hairy, it pollinates more flowers. If more plants are pollinated, there will be more plants and flowers for future bees to obtain nectar from. Therefore a bee's fitness is increased by being more hairy and pollinating more flowers. Through natural selection and a whole lot of time they have gotten more hairy to pollinate more flowers and then have more nectar to eat. Hope this helped!
What flower do bees like?
Bees prefer fragrant, red coloured flowers like roses. Yellow, scentless or purtrid smelling flowers are frequented by flies. I have however seen hungry bees on Dandilions and dasies. Hunger seems to be a great motivator.
Do crape myrtles attract bees?
Bees are attracted to crepe myrtles but they seem to be most attracted to the white colored ones. This is because the white ones produce more pollen and nectar for them.
Do bumble bees like flowers?
Bumblebees also pollinate wildflowers. Bumblebees are attracted to flowers with narrow corolla tubes, such as blueberries and cranberries. They mainly forage for pollen rather than nectar and transfer more pollen to the pistils with each visit.
Are bees color blind?
Bees have the ability to distinguish colors, they have a trichromatic color vision, so bees can see the three primary colours of UV, blue and green (they can't see red though) in the way that humans detect red, blue and green. When bees go off to collect nectar, they are attracted to colours of flowers which act as signals for them about the type of flower colours that provide more or less nectar. They will favour certain colours over others, this means that if they have found yellow flowers to provide more nectar they're more likely to visit yellow flowers. There have been many experiements carried out that prove that bees can see colour and many have trained bees successfully to favour certain colour over others. you should read about the work carried out by Von Frisch early 20th century which prove this, and many that followed after that.
