Sunflower visitors

-

Bees, butterflie­s and other insects visit sunflowers to feast on pollen and nectar. Meanwhile, the pollen sticks to their bodies and they spread it from flower to flower. Without these insect pollinator­s there would be no sunflower seeds and no more sunflowers. Hint:

Sunflowers planted in a large group for a big block of colour are more likely to attract visitors – especially butterflie­s.
