About Pollination
- Pollination usually happens an insect, bird or bat, but humans can pollinate flowers.
- Insects, birds and bats go the flowers because the flowers make a sweet sugary food called nectar which the animals eat.
- Pollen is made by the stamen inside a flower.
- A flower is pollinated when pollen from another flower gets onto the stigma inside the flower.
- When a flower is pollinated the flower will die and seeds will grow.
