just imagine your que tip is a bee or watch a bee and just wipe the pollen from one to the other.its quite easy once you realise wear the male and female part of the pollen is but like i say just watch a bumble bee if your not sure or ask on google.

I have never done this with Busy Lizzies but for crocus or primulas I use a small paintbrush (artist type rather than house) and take pollen from one flower and smear it in the next. It's not difficult, really.
