Why do bee's like the sun?

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 flowering plants and bees both benifitial?
They both complete each other. A flowering plant makes the ecosystem better-looking and more graceful. And bees help us in honey-making and a few more jobs. But bees couldn't make honey without the flowers, and flowers wouldn't exist without bees, bcz when a bee skips from flower to flower to gather nectar, it carries a few pollen grains to the other flower's pistil. By this, flowers reproduce in a wider way to help make our environment merrier.
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.
Why do bees seldom rest on grass flowers?
Bees seldom rest on grass flowers because these flowers typically lack the nectar and pollen that bees seek for nourishment. Grass flowers are often wind-pollinated, relying on air currents rather than insects for pollination, which makes them less attractive to bees. Additionally, the structure of grass flowers is not conducive to bee foraging, as they are usually small and inconspicuous compared to more colorful, nectar-rich flowering plants.
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.
Suppose you observed that bees prefer a yellow flower that produces more nectar over a purple flower that produces less nectar list two separate hypotheses that you might make about bees and flower?
Hypothesis 1: Bees have a color preference for yellow flowers over purple flowers, regardless of nectar production. Hypothesis 2: Bees are more likely to choose flowers based on nectar quantity rather than flower color.
Dr. proctor is conducting an experiment to see if hummingbirds will visit red flowers more or less often than they visit yellow ones. What will be his hypothesis?
Hummingbirds will visit red flowers and yellow flowers with the same frequency.
Why are only some flowers scented?
It's the flowers way of attracting pollenators , such as bees, so they can spread their pollen to other flowers ,and pollenate those flowers to make seeds and give birth to more flowers
Why are flower petals coulerful?
So bees and insects are attracted to them and pollinate them for more flowers to come
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.
