"It has often been said that bees are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Most crops grown for their fruits (including vegetables such as squash, cucumber, tomato, and eggplant), nuts, seeds, fiber (such as cotton), and hay (alfalfa is grown to feed livestock), require pollination by insects."

Through nature’s symbiotic grand design,
they share each other’s gifts in perfect plan;
the honeybee, neath sky in waves of breeze,
seeks out its sustenance from nature's gifts.
Antenna guides safe landing onto plants
and blossoms which provide the nectar stored
and carried by the worker bees back home
where honey lines the hive to feed their young.
The pollen carried safely will transfer
to other blooms...creates more life in turn...
new flowers, trees, but also vegetables
and fruits that grow to feed the hungry world.
The honey from their hives provides a treat,
and pollinated plants sprout foods we eat.
