HONEY BEES
"If bees disappeared off the surface of the globe then mankind would only have four years of life left."
(Albert Einstein)
Since immemorial times, bees’ behavior has inspired myths, legends, tales, poems and fables. At the same time the bee inspired love and was loved by both gods and human beings. Bees have a vital role in the pollination (reproduction) of thousands of plants species. For 50 million years since they are present on the Earth, bees have contributed to the evolution of the vegetal kingdom, as it exists today.
