Welcome again to our second community contest series. We are delighted to see that we are starting on the right foot. For this week's topic, we will be handling an area that is quite interesting but not really known by many given its relevance to agriculture and good security.

The flying insect but of a great value is the Bee. They are known as the great plant pollinators with relevance in the production of our honey and beewax. Bees come from the family order of Hymenoptera with over 2000 species all found with a 7 family component. They can be identified by their yellow and black color, four wings and long proboscis used on nectar during feeding.

The importance of bees in agriculture can not be overemphasized, hence, we would want to have your views using the following contest hints.

CONTEST HINTS

1: What are the functions and roles of bees in agriculture?

2: What crops are most likely to be "bee" dependent, and why?

3: How do bees contribute to global food security?

4: Briefly discuss the economic value of bees' contribution to agriculture?

Hello @disconnect please can you help publish this so that more people can see and take part. I noticed you must have missed it.

I have listed it on "Monday, 23rd September" section @ruthjoe.

Thank you so much

What a wonderful project! It is both necessary and relevant to concentrate on bees and their vital role in agriculture. The amount of value these tiny organisms add to our food chains is astounding, and I value the thorough instructions you gave us to help us with our entries.

. I can't wait to investigate which crops depend heavily on bees and how their extinction may affect the security of food supplies worldwide.

The bee industry has a huge economic impact as well; only the production of honey boosts regional economies and produces jobs. I'm excited to learn more about these subjects and to express my opinions to the community.

We appreciate you setting up this competition and motivating us all to share
