How Seeds Travel
A seed cannot grow in its parent's shadow. There is not enough light. So seeds have to move away.
Some seeds have wings. A sycamore seed spins like a tiny helicopter and lands far from the tree.
Some seeds hook onto fur. A burr catches on a passing fox and drops off somewhere new.
Some seeds sit inside fruit. A bird eats the fruit and the seed comes out later, miles away.

From Flower to Jar
A honeybee visits about a hundred flowers on one trip. She sucks up nectar and stores it in a special stomach.
Back at the hive, she passes the nectar to another bee. That bee chews it for about half an hour. Then it goes into a wax cell.
The bees fan the cell with their wings. The water dries out and the nectar thickens into honey. Then the cell is sealed with wax.
