Flowering
plants require pollinators to reproduce. There are a diverse range of
pollinating species, but insects, particularly bees, are very important
pollinators. Flowers have adapted to attract pollinators through nectar, which draws
pollinators through its attractive scent. Pollinators typically consume the
nectar, and bees use the nectar to produce honey. Some plants have also
developed elaborate shapes and bright colours to attract pollinators, often
specifically aimed at a single pollinating species.
