Buzzy Bee Science with Miss Mules

Yuck! Grease, fat, artificial flavouring and salt smothering my fingers and gathering in my fingernails, I was a bumblebee trying to find the nectar (or, in this case, a Fruit Burst), without noticing that all of the pollen (or in this case, the Twisties) were gathering on my fingers. My job was to collect nectar from the flowers and pollinate the next flowers to grow plants. Bzzzzzzz...

Room 11 was learning about the pollination process on Tuesday with Miss Mules. It was really interesting to learn about, and I built up my 'hive' of knowledge! Get it? Oh, it wasn't a good pun? Fine then.

This is the Pollination Process:

1. The bee searches for nectar in the flower and gets covered in pollen.

2. The bee then goes to the next flower and looks for nectar, and again gets covered in pollen.

This process keeps repeating.

Did you know that other creatures like spiders, wasps and butterflies can pollinate flowers too?
