Scent trails to the flowers
Open to everyone until Monday, September 28
To keep it, print it while it is open.
A bee rubs a tiny scent gland on its belly against the honeycomb and leaves a dotted line of smelly droplets. The other bees in the hive follow that line to find the food.
In the picture
- The tip of a bee’s abdomen: a tiny gland that gives off a scent
- A dotted scent trail: the smell left behind on the surface
- A second bee: following the trail toward the flower
Examples
- Ants following the sugary trail left by other ants to reach a picnic
- Following footprints in the snow to find someone
Key takeaways
- A bee leaves a scent from a small gland on its abdomen.
- Other bees follow that scent to reach the food.
