Why did the Creator of Heaven and Earth make bees anyway?
A. Honey bees have been part of human existence since at least 6,000 B.C. when humans sought out honey trees for a sweet treat. But, far more than providing honey, bees are the best pollinators of fruit and vegetable crops. Billions of dollars of crops would be at risk and starvation of humans and animals worldwide would be a very real risk without honey bees. Honey bees are not the only bees, to be sure. There are approximately 30,000 species of bee in the world, all of them valuable and interesting in their own way.
