Passage: The Wonder of Honeybees

Honeybees are among the most important pollinators on the planet. They are responsible for pollinating approximately one-third of the food we consume, including fruits, vegetables, and nuts. A single honeybee colony can contain up to 60,000 bees, each with a specific role. The queen bee is the only reproductive female in the colony, while worker bees — all female — perform tasks such as foraging, nursing larvae, and defending the hive. Male bees, known as drones, exist solely to mate with a queen.
