Honey bee (Apis mellifera) pollinating a honey wort flower (Cerinthe sp.). As the bee sucks nectar from the flower,it rubs against the stamen - picking up grains of pollen. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete which,when deposited on another plant of the same species,can fertilise an ovule and produce seeds. A large pollen basket,filled with grains of pollen,is visible on the bee's rear | |
