"The birds and the bees" (sometimes expanded to "the birds, the bees and the butterflies" or "the birds, the bees, the flowers, and the trees") is a commonly used phrase (which has become somewhat of a cliché) which refers to clumsy or inept attempts at sex education for children or adolescents, such as the use of euphemisms or symbols to describe sexual behaviour or body parts. A discussion about "the birds and the bees" may therefore involve references to nature (ie. animals and plants) without actually describing human biology or providing any useful insight.
The phrase is said to have its origins in a folk tale, whose exact source is unknown, that reportedly became popular in Southern Africa (probably Namibia) around the turn of the last century. It tells the story of a colony of bee-eater (Merops pusillus) birds laying their eggs after a meal of honeybees.
Or possibly derived from Kamadeva, Hindu god of love that is accompanied by a selection of Birds and Bees at all times.
The phrase was also part of a hit song in the early 1960s.

It's a way to "sugar-coat" talking about SEX!!!! You need to talk to your parents for more details. Asking on-line is not the place you want to be for that...you may get a lot of wrong answers. A girl needs her mom when it comes to this. It's not a "one-talk" discussion either...it's continuous!
