Like Fruit? Thank a Bee!

The video explains the role of bees in pollination, which is crucial for fruit formation. It describes the anatomy of flowers, focusing on the stamen and pistil, and how pollen transfer leads to fruit development. Bees, while collecting nectar, inadvertently transfer pollen, aiding in pollination. Other pollinators like moths, butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds also contribute to this process. The video emphasizes the importance of bees in producing fruits like strawberries, peaches, and cherries.
