II. Read the passage and answer the following questions. 5m
Many people think of bees simply as a summertime nuisance. But these small and hard working
insects actually make it possible for many of your favorite foods to reach your table. From apples
to almonds to the pumpkin in our pumpkin pies. We have bees to thank. Now, a condition known
as Colony Collapse Disorder is causing bee populations to plummet, which means these foods are
also at risk. In the United States alone, more than 25 percent of the managed honey bee population
has disappeared since 1990. Researchers think this Colony Collapse Disorder may be caused by
Global warming, Pesticide use and Habitat loss. Bees are one of a myriad of other animals,
including birds, bats, beetles, and butterflies, called pollinators. Pollinators transfer pollen and
seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Cross-
pollination helps at least 30 percent of the world’s crops and 90 percent of our wild plants to
thrive. Without bees to spread seeds, many plants- including food crops- would die off. Without
