Have you ever looked at a bee? if you see a bee on a flower, take a close look. do you see many little hairs? the hairs hold something that looks like bits of dust. this "dust" is called pollen. the pollen is food that the bee takes from the flowers. the bee flies from flower to flower and plant to plant. from some plants it carries away pollen. on other plants it drops off pollen. in this way the bee carries pollen from one plant to another. the pollen new plants to grow. while the bee gets food, it is also starting new plants.
