Bees gradually switched from eating other insects to flowers as their source of food. With the passage of time, bees have become completely dependent on flowers as a food source. As bees travel from one blossom to another, pollen clings to their fuzzy bodies. It is then transferred to the other flowers of the same species. This pollinates or fertilizes the plant.
Plants then can produce their own fruits and seeds.
Many animals and insects that spread pollen have disappeared from the land as it has been destroyed. The honey bee has taken over as the main pollinator of these flowers. Scientists believe that over the years bees have helped create the wild variety of flowers that exist today by spreading the pollen. The honey bee is the primary source of pollination for approximately one-quarter of all crops. There are tons of fruit crops that rely on the honey bee for its role in pollination.
