Honey bees have been major pollinators of flowers and, therefore, the plants producing the flowers have relied on the bees. The bees help plant reproduce by transferring pollen, a plant’s male sperm cells, from one flower to another an interaction I have observed between a honey bee and a California Buckwheat flower. This interaction is very important to our environment as pollinators of honey bees are critical to the environment and the food supply.
