What else can I help you with?
Do bees have hands?
No bees do not have hands. They have something on the end of their legs that help pick up pollen.
What's the name for what bees go to the center of a flower?
Bees go to the flower to take nectar. In the process they will pick up pollen from one flower and transfer some of it to the next one they visit -- a process called pollination.
Why are bees important for plants?
Bumblebees are extremely important to the plant life-cycle. This is because they play a vital role in pollinating plants by spreading the pollen from one plant to another, ensuring that the plant can reproduce. Without bumblebees to pollinate plants, it would be very difficult to grow a lot of the foods we have come to rely on such as tomatoes, apples and cucumbers.
What are the tiny yellow grains which the bees pick up when they visit flowers called?
The tiny yellow grains that bees collect from flowers are called pollen. Pollen is a fine powder produced by the male parts of flowers and serves as a vital source of protein and nutrients for bees. When bees visit flowers, they transfer pollen from one bloom to another, facilitating the process of pollination, which is essential for plant reproduction.
How do bees polanate?
When bees land on flowers, their fuzzy legs pick up pollen. When they do, they fly to other flowers. While they're sucking up nectar, their legs rub off pollen. That pollen helps the flowers grow.
How does ultraviolet light help bees detect pollen in flowers?
Bees can see ultra-violet light, and there are patterns on the petals of many plants which are visible only in ultra-violet and lead the bee to the source of nectar. The flowers are so arranged that as the bee goes to the nectar it will brush against the stamens and pick up pollen.
How do insects help a plant to reproduce?
Bees and other insects are attracted to flowers and pick up pollen, which they transfer to other flowers depending on when the second flowers' sex pollination happens.
Does bee pollen show up on drug test?
Pollen is not a drug, and it does not show up on drug tests. Also, bees don't make pollen; they pick it up from one flower and carry it to another.
Where could you pick up the pollen in a flower?
Pollen can be found inside the anthers, which are part of the flower's stamen. Bees and other pollinators collect pollen when they land on a flower, rubbing against the anthers and picking up the pollen grains.
How does the location of nectaries help to pollinate the flower?
Pollinators are attracted to the nectar. When they are feeding on the nectar, they pick up pollen and/or deposit pollen. The location of the nectaries is such as to make the pollinators touch the pollen to pick it up or to deposit it.
What biotic factors do honey bees interact with?
Honey bees interact with a variety of biotic factors in their ecosystem, including flowers for nectar and pollen, other bee species for competition and pollination, predators such as birds and insects, as well as parasites and pathogens like mites and viruses. These interactions play a crucial role in the honey bee's life cycle and overall health.
What eats honey bees?
Bees eat honey.Bees ingest the nectar of plants and flowers only to regurgitate it (after it has mixed with enzymes in the bees stomach) as honey.The honey is placed into cells and capped with wax. In order for bees to survive the winter they have to have sufficient honey stored in the hive, because that is their food. Bees will also eat sugar syrup (thick sugar water).They do also eat pollen, but its not a main food source and is actually mixed with honey and mostly used for royal jelly that the larva eat.Worker bees eat pollen and honey. The queen bee eats royal jelly.
