CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollen, which contains a lot of protein and is primarily used to rear the brood, is picked up by the bees almost as they fly past. It sticks to the hairs on the bees, and when they visit the next plant of the same species it is transferred in adequate quantities to their stigma.

Detailed explanation-2: -How does pollen get from one flower to another? Flowers must rely on vectors to move pollen. These vectors can include wind, water, birds, insects, butterflies, bats, and other animals that visit flowers. We call animals or insects that transfer pollen from plant to plant “pollinators”.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a bee lands on a flower, the hairs all over the bees’ body attract pollen grains through electrostatic forces. Stiff hairs on their legs enable them to groom the pollen into specialized brushes or pockets on their legs or body, and then carry it back to their nest.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the bee visits the next flower, some of the pollen is rolled off and onto the female reproductive organ of the flower. Once the bees land on a flower, their feet are placed in a groove that contains the flower’s pollen sacs. When the bee is finished and on to the next flower, it carries off this sac on its feet.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pollination by insects is called entomophily. Entomophily is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera (e.g. butterflies and moths), flies and beetles.
