Ever wonder why honeybees are not called furry bees? After all, they are covered with tiny little hairs that make them quite furry looking. Turns out those tiny little hairs are very important in helping bees and flowers to live together in mutual interdependence. The pollen a flower creates gets caught in the hairs of the honey bee and is more easily transported from flower to flower. As the bee feeds on the nectar of the plants, the plants get pollinated and are able to grow new plants.
