The Importance of Bees: Teaching Kids about Pollinators
The humble bee is a symbol of busy productivity. It is
also one of the most important pollinators. What makes bees so special? They transfer pollen from male to female flower parts in order to fertilize plants, a

35 percent of global crop production.
