Bees are probably the most important and underappreciated insects on the planet. Bees are responsible for a third of the world’s food consumption, which makes them a valuable asset for human life on earth. They are also responsible for the cross-pollination of majority of wild plants, which in turn feed livestock and other non-human life forms, furthering their impact on life on earth. For these reasons it is crucial that people make any effort in their power to aid in their procreation. The most common way this is done today is beekeeping, wherein people raise bees in a manmade home. This can be done for the honey they produce, for pollinating nearby plants or crops, or simply to have them around.
