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 that are being pollinated by the honey bees; this pattern follows up the entire food chain. “Honeybees are critical to global agriculture

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

Africanized Honey Bees (AHB) -- also called Africanized bees or killer bees -- are descendants of southern African bees imported in 1956 by Brazilian scientists attempting to breed a honey bee better adapted to the South American tropics. When some of these bees escaped quarantine in 1957‚ they began breeding with local Brazilian honey bees‚ quickly multiplying and extended their range throughout South and Central America at a rate greater than 200 miles per year. In the past decade‚ AHB began
