    Pollination is the process that gets pollen from one flower to another.

    Beekeepers use smoke to calm bees to get their honey

    Some bees like bumblebees can sting more than once. The rest die after they sting because a Stinger
    is attached to the Abdomen which is ripped out when they sting.

    Pollination is the process in which pollen gets from flower to flower.
    Bees can see all the colors except red.

    Bee's stings have a certain chemical in their stingers so when released into the body of people that are allergic to bee's, it mixes with another chemical, causing the sting to swell or worsen.

    Ms. Yates our red worms are not going to the bottom and maybe dead.

      Anica...3 things I can think of to check. 1. Are there holes in your jar? 2. Are the contents of the jar moist? 3. Is your jar in a cool, dark place?

    My amazing fact about bees and pollination would not earn me a prize... wait, that's a fact technically related to bees and pollination. ;)

    Wait, is that even true?

    Bees have a stinger which, if they are bothered by other living organisms, will sting. However, bees can only sting once, although there are certain types of bees, such as bumblebees that can sting numerous types. Wasps also can sting more than once.

    By the way, pollination is the system of pollen being transported from plant to plant by another living organism.
