Bees depend on any type of blooming plant for their food. There have been many studies saying that bee pollination is essential for crop growth. Without bees, our food supply would be in great danger. The way the bee helps out is through pollination. As the bee gathers what it needs from one flowering bud to another, it takes with it pollen and distributes it. It has been shown that bee pollination results in better quality produce but also may help against pests.
"An apple... will only develope all the seeds inside if it has been pollinated by several bees and fully fertilized. It is possible for an apple flower to develope about ten seeds. if all the seeds do not develop, the fruit itself does not develop where the seeds are not developing. This results in poorly shapped apple of low weight."

Why do Farmers use selective breeding in Corn Plants?
Farmers do this so that the bees can fertilize the blossoms. If this doesn't happen, the apples will not form.

do we need bees
What climate zone does an apple tree need to grow?
The preferred climate of apples is a dry, humid, and musty climate. Believe it or not, the biggest producer of apples is actually russia, not USA! And even Antarctica donates 2% of the apple trade! Apples love heat. yay!
Does the smell of apples attract bees?
No, bees aren't attracted to fruit in the way wasps are. That is why wasp traps are best baited with fruit or fruit jam, then they don't catch bees.
Why are bee hives placed in orchards?
Well if know that bees spread pollen, then you would know that when the bees collect pollen from plants, the next plant they touch gets a little of it from the bee. They land on the blossoms the apples grow from , therefore pollenating the apples.
Why do we need honey bees?
Apart from producing honey, we need bees for pollination.
Why do flower need bees?
Bees pollinate the flowers.
Why do farmers choose to have honey bees pollinate their apples as opposed to other bee species?
Honey bees live in a colony of around 50,000 bees in the season so there are more of them when needed. Bumble bees might have only 50 bees in a nest but are still used when growing fruit in polytunnels.
Bees visit the flowers on the apple trees to get food how might a disease that kills bees affect the number of apples the trees make?
When a bee visits an apple tree, as it goes from flower to flower it transfers pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of the next, fertilizing the flower. Apple flowers have five ovaries, each with two ovules, and each with its own stigma. All of these have to be pollinated for fully developed apples to form. Bees are by far the major pollinator, so if we lost all the bees there would be very few, if any, apples.
Why do humans need the number zero?
Because we need a number to be equal to nothing. (For example: If you had 1 apple & you gave it away, then many apples do you have? You have no apples. No apples = 0 apples.
