It is through this process that plant reproduction happens. Briefly discuss the importance of plant reproduction to all living things. Review the ways in which bees and butterflies pollinate plants as they get food for themselves. Bees, while sipping nectar from flowers, get pollen stuck on various parts of their bodies. This pollen then rubs off on certain parts of the next flower that they fly to.
Bees are the most important pollinators in nature.
Pass out the Pollination Parties worksheet . Students will start the activity by thinking about how bees make people uncomfortable through the Imagine question. Then they will consider some of the plant products that benefit from bee pollination. Ask each student to select a plant from the worksheet and use the library or Internet, or both, to conduct research on the plant and how it is pollinated. Allow time for research and completion of the Pollination Parties worksheet.
