Summary Introduction
To determine:
The advantage of encouraging hummingbirds while discouraging bees.
Introduction:
The floral parts of a flower are the basic determiners of their pollination type. Flowers having small petals and light pollen are usually wind-pollinated. Large, colorful, nectar containing and sweetly scented flowers are often insect-pollinated or bird-pollinated.

Why is it important for bees to attract bright colored flowers
Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar. What would be the reason for this?
