A bee visits a flower, and later that flower turns into a fruit with seeds inside. Wind and animals carry the seeds away to new places.
In the picture
- A bee on an open flower, its back dusted with yellow pollen
- The base of a faded flower swelling into a small green fruit
- A dandelion seed head letting feathery seeds go into the breeze
- Round burrs caught in a dog’s fur
Examples
- A bee visiting the flowers in a garden
- Blowing the seeds off a dandelion clock
Key takeaways
- Pollen has to travel from one flower to another before seeds can form.
- Seeds travel on the wind or by catching a ride on animal fur and feathers.
