Why bees and pollinators are important?
Food
Bees have a very special place on this Earth as far as the human race goes. They are responsible for pollinating more than eighty percent of the earth’s flowering plants and of these, they pollinate seventy of the 100 most important human crops. It is also interesting to note that thirty-three percent of every bite of food we consume is obtained from a plant that has been pollinated by a bee.
