General background:
A short presentation on the introduction to bees, their behaviour and their value to the environment and living beings.
Bees hold a significant value to people and planet as per the below:
a) Pollination As pollinators bees transfer pollen from the male anthers of plants to female stigma , thereby contributing to the growth and production of fruits, vegetables and seeds – directly contributing to food security. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations ( FAO) , a third of the world’s food production depends on bees.
b) Biodiversity
Bees contribute to the diversity of the plant species by facilitating their
production and therefore help maintain health ecosystems and support the growth of wildflowers
