Why are bees the most important animal to human kind

Bees are essential to human kind. What they do is really helpful to humans. Without bees we would
have little to eat and no pizza! If you want to know why this is then I suggest you read on. 

Pollination

Pollination is when a bee transfers pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma
which allows fruit, vegetables and nuts to grow such as tomato apples blueberries and much more.
The reason why plants need pollination is so they can reproduce seeds. As you should already know
this is most of what humans eat.

How Bees Make Honey

As you all should know bees make honey by visiting flowers. They collect a sugary juice called
nectar from the flower by sucking it out with their tongues. They store it in their honey stomach
which is different from their food stomach. A process in the bees stomach turns the nectar into honey.
Then it transfers the honey into the hive bees. The hive bees remove the water in the nectar.

Without bees what would happen

Without bees we would lose all the plants that bees pollinate, all of the animals that eat those plants and
all the animals that eat those animals and just like that all the way up the food chain.

Callaghans ridge day tramp

On the 11th of April R1 and R8 walked the Callaghans ridge track for a day tramp. We had to bring a
pack full of stuff off a certain list and if we forgot something we couldn't go. We got into our car groups to
head off to the start of the track. My car group was Me, Nathan.K, Hannah, Phoebe and Wayne was
driving. When we got there mrs Kemp gave us a number and we had to say our number after the
person with the number before us said theirs. When we started walking I walked with Nevey and it
started to rain which made everything so much more exciting and fun but especially slippery.

Beach Cookout

On April the third 2019 room 1 and room 8 walked down to karoro beach next
to watson creek down at tasman sea. We were down at the beach because
we were having a beach cookout for our william pike challenge. In my group
was Jennae, Aimee, Ethan, David, Cullam and me. Our group was making
nachos for dinner and pancakes for dessert. One of my favorite parts was
lighting the fire and putting sticks on it. 

Afterwards we had to clean our dishes in the creek. It was lots of fun.
