You might want to know, why do bees, butterflies, and wasps go to flowers? Is it the color? The smell? Or is it something else? Well all of these are partly right! Insects like flowers for these reasons...
1. Bees and Wasps and Butterflies drink the sweet juice there. Does anyone know what it is called? That is right! It is called nectar! The nectar is very sweet. Do you know what else eats nectar? Hummingbirds! The hummingbirds love the nectar. The bees also use the nectar to make honey. Do you like honey? It comes from bees and flowers.
a. But, why do insects go to flowers? How many of you have seen all kinds of flowers! Can you tell me something about them? That is right they are colorful! Flowers come in many different shapes and sizes. The bright colors attract the insects to the flowers. If a bee likes one color better, then there are plenty of flowers for him to got to. While if Mr. Bee 2 likes a different color, he has plenty for him to go to.
b. The other reason that insects go to flowers, besides for food and the color and shape is... That is right! The smell. Flowers smell so good! Have you ever smelled a rose? Some people dry flowers and put them in places so that they can smell them. Most flowers smell good. Well some of them anyway. Have you ever heard of the Corps flower? It stinks so bad! It smells like a dead animal!
When the insects come, do they help the flower? Yes! The insects do help, by picking up pollen. Pollen is the yellow or orange powder that make us sneeze in the spring. Bees travel from flower to flower, collecting nectar (which is later converted to honey), and in the process they pick up pollen grains. The bee collects the pollen by rubbing against the anther. The pollen is collected on the hind legs, in dense hairs referred to as a pollen basket. As the bee flies from flower to flower, the pollen grains are transferred onto the stigma.This helps the flowers make seeds, and fruit trees make fruit.
The relationship between flowering plants and bees is called mutualism. This is because both the flowering plant and bee benefit from this relationship.
parasitism because the bee dies when it gets close to the flower. and then the flower eats the bee
Whilst honeybees are getting nectar from flowers, pollen gets rubbed onto their body and as they go to get nectar from other flowers, the pollen rub onto other flowers which pollenates them.

Flowering seed plants are gymnosperms and angiosperms
angiosperms are flowering plants.
Conifers and flowering plants both produce seeds, but they are classified as completely different types of plants. While conifers are always trees (although some may appear to be shrubs), flowering plants can be trees, succulents and even grasses. However, there are several specific differences between the two that scientists use to tell them apart if there is ever any doubt.
Cone bearing plants do not depend on Insects, birds or mammals for the transfer of their male gametes or spores. The cone bearing plants are lower in evolutionary ladder than the flowering plants.
why are seeds important to flowering plants
This is an example of a symbiotic relationship.
Flowering plants require pollinatio non-flowering plants do not.
You get both flowering plants and non-flowering plants; non-flowering are things like mosses, ferns and liverworts which produce spore, flowering plants produce seeds
the main difference is its infloresence catkin or akin
There are two types of flowering plants. These two types of flowering plants are the perennials and the annual flowering plants.
In mammals,the response is usually fast but in flowering plants or even plants in general,their response is usually very slow.
