"We don't need that kind of help, Ms. Suga." said the smallest aster named George.

"Oh yes you do…. You see, when a pollinator like Billy Bob Bombus bee visits your flowers, he takes a sip of nectar and gets some of your pollen stuck to his body. When he gets to the next flower, some of that pollen gets stuck on the female part of the next flower. And that's how your seeds are made.

Without your pollinator visits, you would never have seeds. And of course, without seeds, your aster family would die out."
