The Importance Of Honeybees February 14, 2009

learn about honeybees! Did you know that bees account for about 80% of all insect-pollinated food that humans eat? Most flowering plants produce a sweet liquid to attract insects, primarily honeybees, so pollination can take place and assure the survival of plant species. Without the honeybee, we would not experience the beauty of plants nor the many foods we consume. Learn how you (and your honey) can benefit from the honeybee and learn some basics of beekeeping.
