The bees
there are more than 20,000 species of bees, more than 85% of which are solitary and do not live in hives. Pollination is a fundamental process for the survival of ecosystems,
Bees don't just make honey. They do something essential for the diversity of plants in the world: pollination. Their preservation and that of their habitat benefits us all. Bees are in danger of becoming extinct. Current rates of species extinction are a hundred to a thousand times higher than normal due to human impacts. Bees spend their lives collecting pollen, which provides a source of protein for their developing larvae. As pollen collects on their hairy legs, they move some of the pollen from the male to the female part of a flower. This fertilizes the female flowers and begins the process of developing seeds for the next generation of plants.
