Plants are interesting organisms aren't they, even though they can't walk, to make up for it they to where they can have sunlight. They can also make their own food, but the most fascinating thing about plants, particularly flower, they have the ability to create their own toxins that will affect certain organisms while aree harmless to others. Not only can flowers create toxins, but they can also create chemical defences to protect their pollen from bees. Some scientist from Switzerland gathered certain flowers such as a buttercup, wild mustard, and a tansy. Despite giving different types of pollen to different brood of larvae of the mason bee, it was shown that mason bees had a large diet for all kinds of pollen. However plants need that pollen just much as the bees do, mainly to reproduce. But as we all know bees and flowers have a symbiotic relationship, the equilibrium of pollen and bees will eventually level out.

For last weeks post which did not go up:
ElectroMicroscopes are widely used to scientific study as well as medical study. Now scientsi at the NIST( National Institute oof Standard and Technologies) have found a new way to expand the usage of transmission eletron microscopes, by passing through a nanometer-scale grating. Scientist separated them with an outcome of electron waves on the obrital momentum that keeps its corkscrew form.
