Question

How does the bee know which flower has nectar?

Open in App
Solution

● The plants and bees have a symbiotic association where the bees get nectar from flowers and the plants have fair chances of pollination.
● The flowers produce a negative electrical charge and emit a weak electric signal. Bees detect the flower's electric charge and thus know the presence of nectar.
● Nectar is sweet-smelling and bees get attracted to the fragrance.
● The tone of the flower also acts as a guide to attract the bees.
