Sweet rewards from bees

Apples grow from the flowers that bloom on an apple tree in the spring. For a flower to develop into an apple, the pollen that is produced by one flower must be transferred to another flower. Cross-pollination occurs when pollen is moved from the flowers on one apple tree to the flowers on another. This most often happens when bees come to the apple flowers to collect nectar and pollen and fly from one tree to another.
