Can a mouse pollinate a plant?
It's very unlikely for a mouse to pollinate plants because mice are not nectar feeders.Some bats are nectar feedars, and hummingbirds are, and these would pollinate the flowers they visit.
What does the flowers benefit the honey bees on?
The flowers carry nectar, so when the bees collect the nectar they eat it. That helps produce the honey. The nectar in the flowers is the bees food source. Without flowers, the bees would all die out.
Do bees like barberries?
As a rule no. They do visit blackberry flowers and collect pollen and nectar, and in doing so they pollinate the flowers. If they did not do this, you would not get many blackberries, and those you did get would be uneven and small. If a bee happens to find a damaged ripe blackberry it might lick up some of the juice, but that is about as much as you might expect. Pollen and nectar is what they are after.
What is the reason that the petals are so brightly colored?
Overall brightly colored flower petals assist in attracting insects, birds and small mammals to the flower for pollination. Coloured petals and nectar are normally used in conjunction - the petals as the attractant and the nectar as the "reward". Some petals which are not brightly coloured to humans, but reflect light in the Ultraviolet spectrum which some insects and birds can see.
Wind pollinated flowers do not make nectar why?
Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.
How many flowers bees need to make one pound of honey?
Bees need to collect nectar from approximately 2 million flowers to make one pound of honey. This is because bees must visit numerous flowers to gather enough nectar to produce honey. The process involves multiple trips back and forth between the hive and flowers to collect sufficient nectar for honey production. Each flower provides a small amount of nectar, so bees must visit a large number of flowers to create a pound of honey.
What kinds of flowers would a hummingbird and a moth most likely visit?
Hummingbirds are typically attracted to brightly colored, tubular flowers such as trumpet vine, salvia, and bee balm, which provide easy access to nectar. Moths, on the other hand, are often drawn to pale or white flowers that bloom at night, like evening primrose and moonflower, as well as fragrant blossoms. Both types of pollinators prefer flowers with ample nectar and may visit similar plants, but their activity patterns and color preferences differ.
What is a colourful part of a plant?
In most plants, this would be the flower; specifically, the petals.
Which animal would need to see color -an owl that hunts at night or a butterfly that drinks nectar from flowers during the day?
butterfly that drinks nectar
Why does nectar from flowers attract bees?
New evidence shows that bees see the world in a higher-frequency prism of light than humans & the flowers seem to "light up" as if under a black light for them. If you could see what they see, you would understand their excitability around the flowers & their ability to move directly toward the flowers from a great distance.
Why do deciduous plants produce brightly colored nectar filled flowers?
There's only one purpose for a brightly colored flower, especially one with sweet nectar inside of it. Certainly the wind doesn't care what a plant's flowers look like, so that's not it. Could it be to attract an animal that may come and eat the nectar? The animal would then get pollen all over its face and carry that pollen to other flowers, thus helping the plant to reproduce.
What beak shape would let a bird get nectar from long thin tubular flowers?
A long, slender, curved beak would be ideal for extracting nectar from long thin tubular flowers. This shape allows the bird to reach deep into the flower to access the nectar. Examples of birds with this type of beak include hummingbirds and sunbirds.
