Bees are important insects that help plants grow. They carry pollen from one flower to another, which helps plants make seeds. Without bees, many fruits and vegetables would not grow as well. Bees also make honey, which people and animals eat. They live in large groups called colonies and work together to take care of their hive. Some bees collect nectar, while others protect the hive. Bees even have special dances to tell each other where to find flowers. These hardworking insects help both plants and people in many ways.
