A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
If there were no pollinating insects like bees, what would most likely happen to a garden or farm?
Question 2 of 3
A honey bee lands on a pink lily to sip nectar. Tiny grains of pollen stick to the bee’s fuzzy legs. The bee then flies to a nearby orange marigold and drinks its nectar. What correctly describes what happens to the pollen that was on the bee’s legs?
Question 3 of 3
A honey bee lands on a bright sunflower to sip nectar. While it is on the flower, tiny yellow pollen grains stick to the bee’s fuzzy legs. The bee then flies to a nearby purple lavender to collect more nectar. How does the pollen from the sunflower get onto the lavender?
