Pollination is when the pollen from one flower is spread to another flower so that the plant can grow seeds.
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.
| A bee goes to a [[flower[[ for nectar. | The bee gets pollen on it from the stamen of the flower. | The bee goes to another flower. | The bee that is covered in pollen rubs some pollen off onto the stigma of the new flower. The flower is now pollinated. |
