Third place win in the Flowers From Your Garden Contest!! The sunflower is a composite flower of the family Asteraceae and one of many flowers that produce pollen. Pollen is a fine, yellow, dust-like substance that forms at the base of the head and attracts honeybees and butterflies.Honeybees gather the pollen of sunflowers as soon as it develops. A pleasant-flavored honey results from the honeybee's pollination of the flower. Seed-setting in sunflowers is dependent on the transfer of pollen by the honeybee or other pollinators.Features
