On what continent will you not find bees?*

Describe the changes you might see in a world without bees.

What happens to the bee population as gets bigger and bigger?

Bees are insects known for their production of honey (in some species) and their role in the pollination process. They are found in every global habitat that has insect-pollinated flowering plants, and they play an important role in those ecosystems. Some countries have a higher prevalence of domesticated bees and some have more wild bees. A laboratory has conducted a study of different ecosystems which rely on bee pollination and concluded that wild bees play a more efficient role in pollinating an ecosystem as compared to domesticated bees. Which finding from the laboratory study, if true, would most directly support their conclusion?Domesticated bees pollinate a wider variety of flowers than wild bees do. eliminateSince honey reserves are collected from domestic hives by beekeepers, the bees must collect more pollen from flowers to produce more honey.eliminateThe success of urban gardens is directly related to the number of wild, urban bee hives in the area.eliminateWild bees were found to visit 50% more plants than domestic bees were in the same time frame.

Around which latitude(s) would you expect to find rainforests and why?

If a city starts planting wildflowers along the roadways, how would you expect the population of bees to change over time? Explain your reasoning.
