The bee is among some of the hardest working creatures on Earth. The pollination service bees provide is vital for food production and biodiversity.

Currently almost two-thirds of the crops that feed the world rely on pollination by insects or other animals, and the bee provides us with an abundance of fruits, nuts, and seeds of variety and quality.
