Why are bees so important?
Bees are essential to human survival. Over 70% of the world’s flowering plants are pollinated by bees and other pollinators such as butterflies. They pollinate nearly 40% of all food crops worldwide, including fruits and vegetables. Bees transport pollen between plants of different sexes to fertilise them or between different parts of the same plant to aid in plant reproduction. Bees also benefit plants by preventing inbreeding.
