The flowers start as light pink and gradually turn white. They make the air smell sweet, just like honey. Apple trees do this intentionally because they need bees. The sweet smell brings bees to them. 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 6 Bees are a bit choosy. They don’t like flying when it’s cold outside. Windy or rainy weather also stops them from going out. Apple farmers know their apples need bees. So, every spring, they buy bees and let them fly freely. Usually, they put one honeycomb for each acre （英亩） of the orchard （果园）. When the weather is nice, bees start their job. They go to apple flowers to collect nectar （花蜜）.While collecting nectar, their wings pick up the pollen. When they fly to another flower, they carry the pollen and help the flower get pollinated. Sometimes, a bee might use pollen from one kind of apple tree on 刷外刊·刷时文 返回目录 another kind. That’s why a delicious red apple seed might not grow into a delicious red apple tree. Farmers use a way called grafting （嫁接） techniques to get the right apple trees.
