Pollination is the act of transferring the pollen grains from the male flower’s anther to the stigma of a female flower. Plants offspring are called seeds. Seeds have the genetic information for the next plant generations. Seeds can only be produced when pollen is transported between flowers of the same species. Without pollination, seeds are not transported, and flower generations can not continue.

Pollinators:

Pollinators

Pollination Benefits:

Pollination Benefits -Higher Produce Production per acre -Larger Produce shape/size -Better Product Taste

Slide 11:

HONEY -Large Part of the US Economy -Bee Keeper Jobs -Consumers’ Alternative to Sugar

Honey Isn’t The Only Thing That’s Affected By Lack of Pollination…:

Follow These Next Steps to Make Your Own 4Bs Garden

Step One Garden Layout and Bed Prep:

Step One Garden Layout and Bed Prep For Your Location, Consider the following : Reasonable garden dimensions Amount of morning or afternoon sunlight available for the garden How it can be watered And any other factors that would affect the health of your plants

Step Two Select and Plant Flowers:

Step Two Select and Plant Flowers Selecting Flowers Native Flowers Best attract pollinators Grow well in the area Handle lots of sunlight Pay attention to: texture, colors, and heights Place larger plants to not hinder smaller plants Planting your Flowers Place plants where you want them before digging Follow plant directions regarding spacing, etc. When layout is complete, begin planting *Be sure the top of the soil around the plant’s roots is level with the top of the bedding soil

Step Three Water Planted Flowers:

Step Three Water Planted Flowers As soon as the garden is planted, water garden with garden hose until soil is thoroughly wet This allows everything to settle into place and for the fresh flowers to get water Check your irrigation system to confirm all plants get watered on a regular basis Watering the Completed University Park Garden

Step Four Enjoy!:

Step Four Enjoy! Once your garden is complete, you can sit back and watch the pollination occur before your very own eyes! Know that you are making a difference! Completed Garden at University Park

About Our Project:

About Our Project Colony Collapse Disorder Focus Colony Collapse Disorder has attributed to the bee population decrease during the past five years. Without pollinators we will lose foods such as tomatoes, cantaloupes, strawberries, honey, etc. Promote increased awareness Given presentations to local elementary school 4 th graders Conducted a badge workshop for Brownies, Juniors, and Cadette Girl Scouts celebrating Earth Day Designed, produced, and distributed “SAVE THE BEES” bracelets Produced a brochure for distribution through out the community
