In so doing, they accidentally transported pollen on their bodies to other plants of the same species, bringing about pollination.
Hunting wasps used to feed on other ......................, rather than on vegetation.
第 2 题
Flowering plants started to reward bees with rich pollen and an additional food in

Bees need to balance the ...................... of each trip against the calorific rewards
