Then on to pollination‚ bees that had been raised specially to be pollinators were given to each student. They used the thorax‚ so the legs‚ head‚ and abdomen of the bee were removed. Afterwards the bee was glued to a tooth pick with some glue.

The seeded watermelon doesn’t require that type of climate control environment. The seedless watermelons requires a pollinator watermelon to set fruits. It usually takes about 7 to 14 days for the watermelons to germinate. Farmers who plant watermelons from seeds usually have to wait

This animal is also the only carnivore that also acts as an important pollinator. When collecting nectar they also collect pollen on their faces and transfer it to other flowers. Kinkajous have a different social structure than most animals. A troop‚ or family consists of a

They are arthropods that have articulate appendages‚ a hard exoskeleton‚ compound eyes‚ and an open circulatory system with a dorsal heart. Insects have large populations in many habitats‚ even urban environments such as Chicago. Insects are close relatives to Myriapoda‚ Chelicerata‚ and Crusacea organisms (Hoffmann 63). They are incredibly
