Welcome Bees

Bees are a welcoming sight for those who have fruit trees, plants and flowers. These black and yellow pollinators play a very important role for a successful garden through pollination.

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds. Seeds contain the genetic information to produce a new plant.

I was able to capture some pollination in action on our peach tree.
