WHY ARE BEES IMPORTANT?

BY IRENE GUZMAN AND LUCIA PEREZ

 The most popular are bumblebees and

honeybees.  They both pollinate crops and plants.

They are considered to be beneficial insects because of it.  The relationship between bees and plants is called symbiosis

Bees live in colonies that contain:  the queen bee: is the only female bee that can

reproduce  the worker bee (female)  the drone bee (male)

Honeybees

ď‚— Honeybees produce honey to feed their young, and

themselves in winter months. ď‚— In fact, the honeybee is the only social insect whose colony can survive many years.

Killer bees Africanized "killer" bees look a lot like regular honeybees, but they have different wing measurements.

They lives in South America and the Western and Southern United States. They have been known to chase people for over a quarter of a mile once they get excited and aggressive.
