Family Fun – Bee Pollination Game Activity @Albermarle Building
The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate how pollination occurs through the process of nectar and pollen collection. In return for delicious and nutritious nectar, wildflowers use pollinators like butterflies, moths, bees, beetles, wasps, and others to carry their pollen to other flowers, which pollinates them and allows them to produce seeds to grow the next generation. This will take place in front of the Albemarle building. Pollination Demonstration Activity Instructions
