Pollination


Things we needed
Bees
Cocktail sticks
Plasticine
Forceps (tweezers)

That picture is a bee which we chopped its head, legs and wings and just left its body on so that we could pollinate our flowers.
We had to rub the bee’s body up and down the male (anther) and female (stigma) parts of the flower. We did this because we wanted to move the pollen from the anther to the stigma.
