The queen bee creates the wax in her abdomen, which she uses to build chambers or cells where she lays her eggs. In the process of building their hive, bees play a very important role pollenating flowers and plants. As a bee gathers nectar from a flower, tiny grains of pollen will stick to its hairy legs and body. When the bee flies to another flower for nector, the pollen on its legs and body brushes off to help furtilize the flower. Seeds Top of Page Since plants cannot move, they rely on animals and the wind to scatter their seeds.
Seeds come in a wide variety of sizes from small flower seeds to large acorn seeds and pine cones.
Bulbs Top of Page Many plants and flowers reproduce from bulbs. The parent plant produces buds or bulbs that split off and start to grow a new plant.
