How do bees decide which flowers to pollinate?
- ๐๏ธ 12
Bees decide which flowers to pollinate based on colour, scent, and the availability of nectar. Brightly coloured flowers, especially blue, yellow, and ultraviolet, attract bees. The scent of nectar and pollen guides them to specific blooms. Bees also learn to recognise flowers that offer the most rewarding nectar and revisit those species. This selective pollination benefits both bees and plants, ensuring mutual survival.
