How do bees help farms produce food?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: Transfer pollen between flowers
Transfer pollen between flowers ✓ — Correct! When bees visit flowers for nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies and transfers to other flowers, enabling fertilization. This produces fruits and seeds. About 75% of crops depend on pollinators like bees.
Eat harmful insects and pests — Wrong. Bees don't eat insects—they collect nectar and pollen. Other insects like ladybugs eat pests. Bees' value is pollination.
Fertilize soil with honey waste — Wrong. Bees don't fertilize soil. They pollinate flowers by transferring pollen for plant reproduction. Honey is stored in hives, not released into soil.
