The Importance of Pollinating Insects in Agriculture

Pollinating insects, such as bees, are important for the development of agriculture by improving yields, productivity, and quality of crops through pollination in foods such as apples, vegetables, mangoes, coffee, bananas, among others. The work of bees also benefits the economy, with an estimated annual value for the global economy of approximately USD $235 to USD $577 billion (IPBES Report).
