“Examples of crops that are pollinated include apples, squash, and almonds. Without the assistance of pollinators, most plants cannot produce fruits and seeds. The fruits and seeds of flowering plants are an important food source for people and wildlife.”What conclusion can you draw from this evidence?Pollinators like hummingbirds, bats, bees, beetles, butterflies, and flies are nutritious food for humans.Declining populations of pollinators may impact plant populations and the things that humans can eat.Honey bees are protected by the U.S. government because they help make billions of dollars.Pollinators carry and eat fruits and seeds, and leave pieces of them around so new plants can grow.

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.
