Text, Questions & Answers

The world behind the drone of a bee is fascinating. Bees, small but mighty, play a vital role in our ecosystem. There are over 20,000 species buzzing around every continent except Antarctica! Bees are best known for their role in pollination which is crucial for our food production. In the busy bee society, each bee has a specific role. Worker bees, which are all female, do everything from cleaning the hive to collecting pollen and nectar. The queen bee's job is to lay thousands of eggs, while drones, the males, have the sole responsibility of mating with the queen. However, bees are in danger due to the use of pesticides and climate change. You can help by planting more flowers and reducing the use of harmful chemicals. Protecting bees protects our food and the planet!
