1A single honeybee visits thousands of flowers during one busy summer day.

2As it collects sweet nectar, yellow pollen sticks to its hairy body.

3The bee then carries this pollen from one flower over to the next.

4This simple act of transfer allows the plants to make seeds and new fruit.

5Many of the foods that we eat every day depend on these bees.

6Apples, strawberries and almonds would become rare without their quiet, daily work.

7Sadly, the number of bees is falling in many parts of the world.

8Farmers use too many chemicals that poison the insects and their homes.

10People can help by planting flowers and avoiding sprays in their gardens.
