Pollen is eaten for its                 and is mixed with honey to make “bee bread” .

   

The bee colonies have a plan about which one kind of flower they will collect nectar and pollen from, which makes pollination happen! 

Remember that pollination has to happen with the same kind of flowers, not different ones.

• nectar

• protein

• sugar

• water

Bees give us evidence against              because it would be easier for them take nectar and pollen from any flower they see.   Instead, they fly long distances to collect from              kind of flower at a time, which allows the plant to survive.
