 What is a honey bee?
A bee of a type that collects nectar and pollen, produces
wax and honey, and lives in large communities.
5 reasons why honey bees are
important
 Biodiversity
Honey bees affect the number and types of plants and animals
that exist in a particular area or in the world generally.
 Pollination
Insects transfer pollen grains between flowers and help
the plants to produce fruits and seeds.
 Food Source
Bees are responsible for helping to produce fruits and
vegetables. Thay use nectar to make honey for the colony.
Honey is a sweet treat for humans and for some animals.
 Wild Plant Growth
Bees pollinate wild plants and are responsible for the
production of many seeds, nuts, berries, and fruit, which
serve as a vital food source for animals and humans.
 Wildlife Habitats
Bees helps to build homes for millions of other insects and
animals.
A quiz
1. How many species of bees are in
the world?

• A 5000
• B 25,000
• C 10,000
• D 15,000
 B 25,000

There are over 25,000 recorded species of bees, which are

different in size, color, and social habits.
2. How many eyes does a bee have?

• A5
• B3
• C6
• D2
 A 5
A bee has 5 eyes: 3 simple eyes on top of its head, and 2
compound eyes.
3.How many honey bees would you find
in a typical healthy colony during the
active summer season?
• A 20,000
• B 30,000
• C 50,000
• D 60,000
 C 50,000
A colony of bees can house about 50,000 members, which
makes bees among the most socially cooperative insects in
the world.
 4.For how long can a queen honey bee
live (assuming she is not killed by
predators, and does not catch
diseases)?
• A Possibly 3 – 4 years.
• B About 6 weeks
• C Possibly 24 - 36 weeks
• D Up to 10 years
A 3 – 4 years
 5.What percantage of the world's main
crops bees pollinate?

• A 25%
• B 35%
• C 75%
• D 90%
 C 75%
Bees pollinate 75% of the 100 most globally- traded crops.
 Conclusion
Bees are perfectly adapted to
pollinate, helping plants grow,
breed and produce food.
They do so by transferring
pollen between flowering
plants and so keep the cycle of
life turning.

would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more
pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
