What makes bees so significant for humans?

Pollination Powerhouses:  Bees are the most dominant pollinators for flowering plants, including many agricultural crops. 

More Than Honey: Without bee pollination, these crops would see significant decline in yields, impacting food security and variety.

Economic Buzz:  Bees play a vital role in agriculture, contributing billions of dollars to the global economy.

Honey for Health:  It has antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities and can be used for wound healing and sore throat relief.

Diversity on the Plate:  Bees contribute to plant diversity by pollinating a wide range of flowering plants. 

Environmental Indicators:  The health of bee populations is an indicator of the overall health of an ecosystem. Declines in bee populations can signal environmental problems.

Beyond Food:  Bees also pollinate plants that provide materials for clothing (like cotton) and biofuels.  Their role extends beyond the food on our plates.

Cultural Significance:  Bees have held cultural and symbolic meaning for millennia across various societies.
