Comment on Why do bees/pollinators pollinate other plants?

Bees are messy. When they go to the flower, it gets all over them.

The flowers are designed such that the pollen does this…. Because the flowers that do spread better. The bees are just there to get food, but while they’re going about getting food, they’re making an awful mess, and the flowers benefit.

    I’ve been carefully deadheading that bull thistle that grew in my yard this year because I don’t want only bull thistle in my yard next year, but the bumble bees just freak out over it, so I don’t have the heart to get rid of it while it’s in bloom. It’s about six feet high and very thorny.
