Bees, flies and wasps helped pollinate the plants from which many of the oils used for frying potatoes come. Bees also pollinated the sugar cane that sweetened your milkshake and the strawberries used for flavoring. If you had coffee or tea with that meal or for breakfast, bees and flies tended to those flowers too.
The showy outer ray petals help attract the pollinators. Bees go from flower to flower within the disc, becoming covered with pollen. They then pollinate other sunflowers as they go from plant to plant. The success of sunflower as a crop for seeds and oil depends totally on bees.
