There are 125 listed uses for beeswax. The most important contribution of the honey bee to the economy is its pollination of fruits, nuts, vegetables. Honey bees pollinate more flowers than any other insect. They are the only insect that can be moved to the fields for the purpose of pollination. The importance of the honey bee to agriculture is seen by the fact that more than 50 of the crops cultivated in the United States require insect pollination.
Bees are entirely dependent on flowers for food.
There is no doubt that bees and flowers evolved simultaneously. Even as they ensure their own survival by gathering food they ensure the survival of plants by pollinating them. In the absence of bee pollination these plants would disappear and many animals would be deprived of an important food source Bees need humans to be careful with insecticides, pollution and over developing which destroy the flowers needed by them to survive. Humans need honey bees for honey and beeswax. But mostly humans need honey bees for the pollination of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and forage crops that animals and humans use for food.
