Pollination is when the pollen from one flower is spread to another flower so that the plant can grow seeds.

Singular Noun: Pollination

Plural Noun: Pollination

Verb: To pollinate

Pollination usually happens an insect, bird or bat, but humans can pollinate flowers.

Insects, birds and bats go the flowers because the flowers make a sweet sugary food called nectar which the animals eat.

Pollen is made by the stamen inside a flower.

A flower is pollinated when pollen from another flower gets onto the stigma inside the flower.

When a flower is pollinated the flower will die and seeds will grow.

The process of pollination.

A bee goes to a [[flower[[ for nectar.	The bee gets pollen on it from the stamen of the flower.	The bee goes to another flower.	The bee that is covered in pollen rubs some pollen off onto the stigma of the new flower. The flower is now pollinated.

Pollination is when the pollen from one flower is spread to another flower so that the plant can grow seeds.


Once the pollen has reached the stigma it must still get to the ovary of the flower.
