BEES

NATURE’S POLLINATORS

Honey bees are actually fuzzy little insects.

When one stops by a flower

to sip some nectar, pollen

gets stuck to its hairy body.

When the busy bee moves

on to another flower, it drops

some pollen from the first

flower onto the second

flower.

This allows flowers

to make seeds, bear fruit,

and reproduce.

Bees stroke their wings

11,400 times per minute!

That’s what makes their

distinctive buzzing sound.

Hooray for hairy legs!
