Electric Attraction
I have been reading about the ways bees find nectar giving flowers. One of the ways, surprisingly - but only because it is a sense we humans lack - is electricity,
Studies have shown that flying hairy bees are positively charged. Whereas pollen giving flowers are negatively charged, So as the bee approaches the flower, it’s hairs react to the flower, And the static helps the pollen attach to the bees legs.
The natural world is a wondrous thing. And science just proves it to be even more wondrous than we could ever possibly imagine.,
