Why do bumble bees(大黄蜂)? pick some flowers over others? Research has known for a while that colors can be signal. Color in short-hand (?) it says to a bee: hey, here get some good quality nectar next to you, wanna you stop by a visit? But new findings show bees also use colors to get clues about flower temperature. According to a study from a British research team published in the journal Nature, some like hot. Bees use up a lot energy just stay warm in some (or summer) days, in fact they can’t even fly if too cold. So if one flower is warmer than another, a bee can save some of its fuel by basking on that flower while he is doing his pollinating business. It turns out that bumble bee consistently do choose warmer flowers over cooler ones, even when the two flower offer up the same quantity and quality of nectar. Some plants seem to be evolutionally adopted to be slightly warmer, because the warmer one gets more visits by the chilly bees. When it comes to getting pollinated , apparently,the heat is on, that’s the buzz (bugs?)+ U# M0 o4 F0 ^+ g% D" A
