Honeybees are vital to the argricultural security of the United States as well as the entire world. Without their pollination process‚ many crops around the world would fail. “Of the 100 crops that provide 90% of the world’s food‚ 71 are bee pollinated‚ and honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are the managed pollinator conscripted to provide the necessary pollination services for most of these crops” (Frazier et al 2015). It is important for the Honeybee population to remain stable‚ but pesticides used

wasps are sole pollinators of fig trees (Ficus)‚ each fig tree species has its own particular wasp for pollination. Fig trees are totally dependent on fig wasps for pollination and have been for the past 60 million years‚ this shows that this process of pollinating is efficient and sustainable creating equilibrium between the two populations. Fig wasps also benefit from this unaware pollination as they only breed in the figs. So without the other party neither would survive and become extinct. If

protect the hive; and forage bees that go out and collect food and water3. Easily‚ the most important job of the bees is pollination. Known to many as that time when your car turns from black to yellow in a night‚ pollination is the process that pollen is transported from plant to plant for reproductive purposes. Bees may be little‚ but their affect on the economy through pollination is quite significant $15 billion in U.S. crop production4. For any child who has ever feared the sight of broccoli

production. Many vegetables and flowers can be grown in greenhouses in late winter and early spring‚ and then transplanted outside as the weather warms. Bumblebees are the pollinators of choice for most pollination‚[citation needed] although other types of bees have been used‚ as well as artificial pollination. Hydroponics can be used to make the most use of the interior space. The relatively closed environment of a greenhouse has its own unique management requirements‚ compared with outdoor production

phenomenal numbers and that is something that people should pay more attention to. Honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate and that will have a major impact on the lives of everyone. The disappearance of honey bees would not only mean less pollination of important plants to our society but also could lead to higher food cost.

The result of the honey bee pollination indirectly supports an exceedingly broad list of species. Honeybees support both plant and animal as the plants cannot spread and reproduce without the honeybee or similar pollinator spreading its pollen. Several animals also rely on the plants
