Law Of Attraction

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love and to both bee and flower, the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy. - Khalil Gibran

A bumblebee is attracted to the bright colours, fragrance and patterns of flowers for sweet nectar. But there is more to pollination than sight and smell. The electric forces in air also enhance the attraction between pollen and pollinators. 

Bees are sensitive to the electric field which surrounds a flower. They can even distinguish between fields produced by different floral shapes or use them to work out whether a flower has been recently visited by other bees.

As bees fly through the air, they bump into charged dust particles. This friction gives them a positive charge.

Flowers, on the other hand are grounded and tend to have a negative charge. When the positively charged bee arrives at the negatively charged flower pollen flies. 

Many animals like dolphins, sharks and platypus are also sensitive to electric fields.

Bees and flowers have been exchanging secret messages all this time.

A tryst with nature! #LawofAttraction
