The Role of Bees in Agriculture: Moving Hives for Pollination

Bees are more than just honey producers; they play a crucial role in agriculture through pollination. Interestingly, beehives can be transported from farm to farm, enabling the bees to pollinate crops in different locations. This mobility is vital for crops that depend on pollinators to produce fruits, nuts, and vegetables, ensuring a stable food supply.

The practice of moving hives underscores the symbiotic relationship between bees and agriculture. Farmers rely on bees to maximize crop yields, and in turn, bees depend on a diverse range of flowering plants for their survival, making them indispensable partners in farming.
