I'm Martin.

And I'm Chris and we're checking out the world of flowers.

Because when you look closely at flowers, you'll be amazed at what cool creatures you'll find.

Okay, fan out!

Okay, here's a Bumble bee drinking nectar from a flower.

Nectar is a sweet sugar water that the flower makes.

Look at him sticking his proboscis in between the petals.

That's where all the nectar is.

But why do these plants go through all that trouble making flowers and sweet sugar water for the bees to drink.

Well you can think of it as a kind of payment.

Payment for delivering a very special and important package.

See those little yellow clumps on the end of the flower?

It's called pollen.

Those are the packages that the flower needs to be delivered.

From this flower to... to another flower.

And he's the guy who's going to do it.

Bees get covered with sticky pollen when they drink the nectar, then they fly to another flower to drink more nectar and some of the pollen falls off.

Yes!

And the delivery's complete.

Now this flower will develop seeds that will grow new plants just like that one.

This process is called pollination and lots of creatures are part of it.

The pollinators and even deadly predators like this bee-eating spider.

Imagine what it would be like to travel with the pollinators and see exactly how they do what they do.
