Let’s Build a Model of Pollination
Learn about pollination and cross-pollination by making a model bee and flower, and seeing how pollen is spread.
Native bees are important pollinators that help plants make fruits and seeds. But how does it all work?
In this activity, you’ll create models of a flower using paper materials and tape, and a “native bee” using a spoon and tape. Using your models, you will see how bees pollinate flowers to serve an important purpose in growing food like apples, cherries, tomatoes, watermelon, and cucumbers.
This activity is part of our 4-H At-Home Native Bees Series. See the rest of the activities here.
