Flowers
are brightly coloured and scented to attract insects.
The
insects are needed to help in pollination and the formation of
seeds.
Flowers
contain nectar, which the insects drink.
As
the insects move from flower to flower drinking the nectar, they
carry pollen with them.
Bees
pollinate some flowers.
Most
of the time, both honey bees and the plants they visit are benefited.
The
honey bee gets some food and the plant gets pollinated.
Flowers
that attract bees are often blue or yellow.
