What's pollination?
When a bee lands on a flower, tiny dust-like grains called pollen stick to her fuzzy body.
When she flies to the next flower, the pollen rubs off — and that's how plants make seeds and grow new fruit!
Without bees, no apples, no strawberries, no almonds. They're tiny but mighty. 💪
