The type of energy the Sun produces is nuclear. Solar energy is the radiation and the light that are a product of the nuclear fusion.
I clicked solar just bcause I knew they were gonna eff that up.
Load More Replies...this, came to complain about this one. The sun energy is produced by nuclear fusion, it's nuclear energy.
Here I was thinking I was wrong for clicking nuclear instead of solar. Thank you for backing me up!!😃
I'll take your frog and raise you the humble tardigrade. When dried out, you're looking at decades of dormancy, and thanks to that it isn't fazed by being out in space.
It is all a trick by the plants. The plants produce nectar to attract the bees. The pollen sticks to the bees by accident (it is not actively collected by the bees). When the bee visits another plant, it fertilises it by brushing the pollen off again.
Load More Replies...They collect pollen to pollenate other plants. They collect nectar to make honey. Change my mind.
Your knowledge only comes from the BeeMovie (2007). Change my mind. /jk 🙃
Yeah, but the question is what do they collect to produce honey. Pollen is not used in honey production
Honey production... It's basically nectar passing from 🐝 to 🐝 with each one absorbing a little bit of water until it's a gloopy liquid that is then stored in the hive as honey. So next time you pop some honey into your mouth, ask yourself how many bees that literally passed through before it made it to you? Human centipede? Gross! Bee centipede? Yummy!
