The Importance of Bees in Our Ecosystem

When we think of bees, we tend to remember the honey that helps us sweeten yogurts or infusions, but that is just the tip of the iceberg of their contribution to our well-being. These small creatures also produce the pollen used in human and animal food; royal jelly, used as a dietary supplement; the wax that we use for food processing; and propolis used in food technology. Furthermore, they provide a unique and free service to the entire ecosystem: pollination.
