This is the substance of there own homes, the combs, are built. But none of this equals the bees greatest contribution, and that's cross pollination.The honey bee goes from flower to flower sipping the nectar from the cucumber or the water million,she simultaneously gathers on the hairs of her body and legs a bit of dust like material called pollen.most of the pollen is used to mix with nectar to make food for the baby's.but not all of it . when the bee fly's from one bloom to another, it leaves a bit of pollen on each one as she goes about her daily business she aids in perpetuation of all those beautiful flowers and garden plants that we enjoy through out our lives.

Self -pollinating
Some plants are self-pollinating,some are wind pollinated,but most of the vegetables, fruits, and legumes, has to be pollinated with insect carried cross-pollination, to be sure there is a sufficient quantity of vegetables, or fruit, and get a satisfactory quality.Do to all the insectasides and poisons sprays used on our crops in such large scale, it has caused an immense destruction, of beneficial as well as harmful insects.
