Scientific or Technical Reading: How Bees Pollinate

Bees play a crucial role in pollination. As they move around, they transfer pollen from one flower to another, enabling plants to reproduce. Without bees, many crops would break down over time, leading to a decline in global food production. Bees are more than just insects—they’re nature’s engineers.
