Dr. Apis: Time is Running out!!!
Dr. Bombus: You may only have
one chance to pollinate a flower
so let's do a practice run before you attempt the real thing.
You already have pollen on your body but a real bee normally
get's pollen
on it's body by brushing up against the of the flower.
You, like other bees will be attracted to a flower by two things. Describe
what the two things
that attract are and why they would attract bees to the flower
.
Next, you will fly to another flower and look for the female
part of the plant. This is called the.
The pollution process will now begin. Describe this
process being sure to use these key words
(Pollen Tube, Ovary, Eggs.)
Finally, as the eggs mature into seeds the of the flower
will fall off.
