Pollination is how plants make new seeds! 🌼 It's like a flower's way of saying 'hello' to another flower using pollen. Pollen needs to move from one part of the flower (the stamen) to another (the pistil) to make a seed. Sometimes the wind helps, or even a buzzing bee! 🐝 Let's dive into some fun activities to learn all about it.
