Bees are invaluable to man in the pollination of food crops. The honeybee 's food consists of nectar, and the pollen from flowers and plants, which honeybees can make into honey. Bees are closely related to wasps and ants. The sting of the female and worker wasps is mortal or paralyzing to other insects. Grasshoppers are leaping insects of the suborder Saltatoria , and are related to locusts.
Grasshoppers are mainly nocturnal, or active at night, and are plant-eating insects.
Mantises are Orthopterons , an order of insects that include grasshoppers and crickets. Ants are of the order Hymenoptera . There are many species of ants and they are widely distributed. Ants show a highly developed social organization and complex behavior patterns. Many ants exhibit parental care, carrying food to their larvae, and cleaning and guarding nests.
