Honey bees are social and cooperative insects. Bees live in colonies and may have up to 40,00 bees in them! Bees have two antenna and two pairs of wings. Bees are found all continents except for Antarctica. Some of the ones we may be familiar with are honey bees, bumble bees, and sweat bees. We have started talking about the invertebrate group of insects. Do you remember when we talked about seeds and the baby plant inside of them just waiting to grow? Isn’t is amazing how flowers make seeds for new plants to grow? The seeds now contain all the parts that will grow into a new plant and the food it needs to start growing. The flower has done its job and the petals start to die and fall away. Once a flower has been pollinated, a seed begins to grow inside it. Many flowers are pollinated by insects, birds, or other animals. Some plants use the wind to carry the pollen from one flower to another.
How does pollen from one flower reach the female parts of another? Flowering plants need help to spread their pollen. Pollen grains come in many different shapes, but they are always too small to see properly without a magnifying glass. Most plants are pollinated by pollen from another plant of the same kind. When this happens it is called pollination. To make a seed, pollen from the stamens of one flower must reach the pistil of another. The stamens make a powdery dust called pollen. The stamens, pistil, stigma, calyx, and the we also found out that many flowers have a sweet liquid called nectar. We found out that a flower has both male and female parts and learned the names of some of them. The petals all together are called the corolla. Let’s look this flower and review some of its parts. Need for lesson – Real or fake flower to demonstrate parts. Date Reviewed April 23, 2018.Busy, Buzzy Bees Allan Fowler Botany: (first circle) I'm not a huge fan of bees, but I am aware of what they do, why they do the things that they do, and how important they are to the environment. If I were working with children, I would use this to show the life cycle of bees. Although some people may not be big fans of bees, it still may capture the reader's attention due to the information that is given. That is why I rated this book a 5 star rating out of 5 stars. The illustrations are detailed and sort of realistic. It is very detailed, but not too complicated for younger readers.
I like how it explains how bees communicate.
