The Relationship of Fruit and Honey Bees
Flowers bloom from plants that bear fruit. The flowers’ nectar becomes food for many insects including honey bees. Most fruit-bearing plants cannot create fruits (and therefore seeds) and reproduce unless they are pollinated by insects. Many insects such as honey bees and butterflies live together with the plants.
Different life forms such as these collaborating and living together is a phenomenon known as “symbiosis”.
