Honeybees play a vital role, both in nature and in agriculture. They are responsible for pollinating many of our fruit and vegetable crops. Bees accomplish this task by flying from one flower to another, gathering nectar and pollen, then delivering the precious pollen to the flowers that need it for fertilization. The fertilized plant then produces a seed in the form of fruit, nut, or vegetable. Without bees, our food supply could be at risk on a massive scale.
