How Can Red Flowers Negatively Affects Bee Population

Decent Essays
In spring time lots of flowers bloom. There are millions of types of flowers and they are all different. The Sunflower is a yellow and brown flower. It was brought to Russia by royalty. Tsar Peter the Great found the flower in the Netherlands and brought them to Russia. These purple flowers are very special. In the sunshine the flowers open their pedals to get enough sunlight and when the sun goes down they close. That is why there are more purple flowers in the lighter area and less in the shaded area. This negatively affects the bee population because where there is shade the pedals are not open, causing the bees to not get enough pollen. Not a lot of people know this, but me. I told Siobhan this fact and she told me to write it in my book
