Bzzz, bees fly from flower to flower to drink sweet nectar!
Pip’s answer
- Bzzz, bees fly from flower to flower to drink sweet nectar!
- Fluffy yellow pollen sticks to their fuzzy bodies, just like Pip's fuzz!
- They carry it to the next flower, which helps new seeds and fruit grow!

Can you buzz like a busy little bee?
For grown-ups
Bees visit flowers to collect nectar, a sugary liquid they turn into honey, and pollen, which feeds their young. As they move between flowers, pollen sticks to their fuzzy bodies and is carried to the next flower. This pollination lets plants make seeds and fruit, including many of the foods we eat.
Ask your child: Which fruits can you think of that need bees to grow?
