By the color. They are attracted to bright colors like red and pink. They have very keen eyesight and can spot "red" from a great distance.

Are hummingbirds afraid of butterflies?
While the sounds of hummingbirds are not exactly considered music, they definitely have a language all of their own. It would be more appropriate to call them chirps then it would be to call it music. However, by listening and learning what the hummingbirds are saying, you can tell what they are doing without looking directly at them.
How do you know if a plant is pollinated by insects?
You can easily know whether flowers are wind pollinated by just looking at their structure. These flowers have very small petal and they do not have any scent or nectar to attract insects. The pollen is also produced in large quantities since most of it never gets to the other flowers.
How can you tell the difference between a girl and boy hummingbird?
As with many species of birds, male hummingbirds are typically more brightly colored than females. In North America, the most common species of hummingbird are the Ruby-Throated and the Rufous. Both species are sexually dimorphic (meaning you can tell the difference between a male and a female by looking at them). Male Ruby-Throated hummers have a bright red gorget (or bib) that the females lack. Likewise, male Rufous hummers have a bright orange gorget, while females do not. When hummingbirds are young and sexually immature, males and females can appear identical. Also, there are a couple of species, such as the Berylline and Buff-bellied hummingbirds, where the color variation between an adult male and female are difficult to distinguish.

What would you tell someone who claimed that all bees make honey?
I would tell them that they are right - all bees do make honey. However, only the honey bee - Apis Mellifera - makes honey in large enough quantities for a beekeeper to remove some of it for his own use. Happily, honey is just bee vomit. Have fun the next time you eat some :D!
Which term describes the relationship between bees and flowering plants?
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.
Is a bee finding a field of flowers a instinct?
No. Forager bees leave the hive and fly off in all directions looking for a good supply of nectar (or pollen). When a bee finds a good supply, it loads up with nectar or pollen and returns to the hive. It then does what is known as a 'waggle dance' to tell the other bees in the hive how far and in what direction they will have to fly to get to the source of the nectar or pollen.
When was Philip emeagwali married?
Philip Emeagwali became famous in the Disco era when he invented an interesting dance called the Emeagwali which was used to tell a hive of Africanized bees where the nectar bearing flowers are relative to the sun.
How do the worker bees tell other bees where food is?
Movements and scents are ways in which bees tell each other where flowers are. The insects in question (Apis spp) leave distinct scents on the preferred flower. They tell hive mates where the flower is located by body and leg movements and by look and smell of transported nectar and pollen.
Can you tell a good website where I can get free e cards related to flowers and gifts.?
There are several sites which do this. 123greetings.com offers packages for both flowers and they also provide e-greetings. This should meet your criteria, but the phrasing on this question is poor.
When should you stop feeding hummingbirds?
Never, they need twice their body weight in nectar to survive. If not, they will die. ------------------------------------------------- If you live in an area where hummingbirds migrate south for the winter you should keep the feeders out until nectar is no longer being taken and make sure that the feeders are out early in the spring to catch the first arrivals for the next summer.... basically the first answer is correct if you live in a country where humming birds are present all year.
Does bees dance to talk?
In a way, yes. The bees use what we call the 'waggle dance' as a means of communication. When a bee returns to the hive after having found a new source of nectar she will go on to the comb then walk around in a 'figure-of-eight' path. Each time she goes through the centre part of this path she will pause and vibrate her abdomen. She will also give samples of the nectar to surrounding bees. The angle of the bee's body in relation to the vertical is the same as the angle to the nectar source from the hive relative to the sun, and the duration of the waggle is proportional to the distance from the hive. The samples of nectar tell the other bees what the flowers are.
What kind of plant would you choose to attract butterflies to your garden?
At most Garden shops, they have little tags with "butterfly attractor" on them or something like that. Butterflies like chicken flowers, I can tell you that though. Butterfly attracting plants are very beautiful, and plenty of butterflies flying around in your garden will make it look perfect! :)
