Wild bees pollinate trees and shrubs that feed and shelter wildlife, provide flood control, prevent soil erosion and help regulate the climate.
Bees might not be able to survive inside a person’s eye, but they can be drawn to disgusting food sources.
Amid the insect extinction crisis, some species are actually increasing. Here’s why that’s not necessarily a good thing.
