Bees are small insects, but they play a very important role in nature. As bees travel from flower to flower, they collect nectar to make honey. While doing this, they also move pollen from one plant to another. This process, called pollination, helps plants grow fruits, vegetables, and seeds.
Many of the foods people eat every day depend on bees. Apples, strawberries, almonds, and cucumbers all grow because bees help pollinate the plants. Without bees, farmers would have a harder time growing enough food.
Bees also help keep ecosystems healthy. When plants grow well, animals have more food and shelter. Because of this, protecting bees is important for both people and the environment.
