To start off, pollination is the process of transferring pollen from one plant to another. Honey bees carry pollen from the anther, the male part of the plant, to the stigma, the female part of the plant. Pollination is critical to fruit and seed production. It is often provided by honey by honey bees and other pollinators on the hunt for floral rewards.
Honey bees and other pollinators provide pollination services for over three-quarters of the crop plants that feed humankind and for 90% of all flowering plants in the world. Pollination is a necessary step in the production of of most fruits and vegetables that we eat and in regeneration of many forage crops that feed the world. 15% of these crops are services by honey bees while at least 80% are pollinated by wild honey …show more content…
It usually consists of the queen bee, which can lay up to 1,000 eggs a day,up to 60,000 female bees and close to 1,000 male bees or drones.( Evans, Elizabeth Capaldi, Why Do Bees Buzz?: Fascinating Answers to Questions About Bees.)
