In this investigation, students look at the way in which flowering plants use colour to attract pollinators, and particularly bees.
🌈 Can the colors of plants do more than just please the eye? Deeper insights into the physiological and metabolic functions of the pigments in plants and their applications: beyond natural colorants https://t.co/seL5RDsc3e
