Honey Bee on a Flower

Bees are responsible for gathering pollen from the flowers they land on with their tiny hairs, and later passing it onto the next flower it collects pollen from. This transferring of pollen from flower to flower is how most plants have been capable of reproducing for millions of years now.

Outside of floral species, bees are responsible for pollinating numerous foods that humans consume. Honey bees alone are responsible for the pollinating of apples, blueberries, melons, cranberries, and of course, honey. This also means that as the bee population declines, the availability of this produce will simultaneously become scarce, and will eventually disappear.
