Poppy has no nectar glands, but delivers high pollen for example, the honey bees. Poppies are mainly in the UK and other countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, the symbol of the First World War because they bloomed abundantly on the battlefields of Flanders, for example describes In Flanders Fields by John McCrae. The poppy seeds are often used in some (mostly sweet) dishes such as the traditional Polish Makowiec cake. The seed of the opium is used under the name poppy seeds on rolls.
