one flower to another sucking the nectar from various

flowers, by doing so they help in transferring the pollen

grains from male to female flowers helping in reproduction

of main crops just like apples, berries, broccoli , melons,

tomatoes and cherries.

Without the help of bees , these crops won't be available

with the same quantity today and the world would

be running short of these crops which are

available most of the time to

consumers.

In the same time bees pollinate

crops that animals and birds

feed on which in turn humans

eat those animals and birds. So
