Healthy Future For decades‚ the metaphorical story of the “Birds and the Bees” has been told to children in order to explain sexual intercourse. Since honey bees are an important part of the fertilization process among plants‚ also known as pollination‚ this story is a good way of speaking openly about the subject without using technical terms. When a honey bee lands on a flower‚ their feet slip into little grooves that hold pollen sacks which they carry with them until they land upon another

region in which this plant grows‚ a mature aloe plant sends a flower spike from the center of its rosette of leaves‚ which it is then pollinated by agents like hummingbirds (Skousen‚ 1992). Seed development occurs immediately after successful pollination when a small green pod that looks like a fat cucumber is formed. However‚ due to excess heat‚ the pod dries and through explosive mechanism‚ it releases the seeds to the soil. The seeds can remain dormant if there are no suitable conditions for

Many angiosperms display other modes of pollination‚ including self-pollination. Evolutionary Origins Plants derived from an aquatic ancestor‚ but the evolution of their conducting tissues‚ cuticle‚ stomata‚ and seeds has made them progressively less dependent on water. The oldest plant fossils date from the

Altogether according to the honey bee conservatory around 15$ billion worth of crops would be destroyed because they require honeybee pollination. California’s Agricultural Industrial Almond Complex yields over 80% of the world’s almonds. This makes almonds the number one horticultural export crop in the US and generates over 2 billion dollars in income. It is also California’s #1 agricultural

Violets reduce fever. Chrysanthemums are good for headaches and high blood pressure. Main Function The primary function of the flower is reproduction or pollination. There are three steps that the flower goes through to produce other flowers. First is pollination. Most flowers rely on butterflies‚ bees‚ bats or hummingbirds to assist in the pollination process‚ to carry the pollen from one plant to another‚ while others rely on the wind for transport of pollen. One might say‚ "Flowers dress themselves
