Honeybees play an interesting and important role in nature.
In addition to making honey, honeybees help many plants reproduce.
They do this by pollinating the plant, which means to transfer pollen.（花粉）
Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within a plant's flower or carried to another flower.
This is how the plants reproduce.
For reproduction to succeed, the pollen must be transferred from the male part of a flower to the female part.
Many plants depend on pollination for reproduction.（授粉）
These include many fruits and vegetables.
Besides honeybees, there are many other pollinators, including birds, insects, and other kinds of bees.
Without enough pollinators，many of our favorite fruits and vegetables would become more expensive and hard to find.
These include almonds and cherries.?（杏仁）
Honeybees are important pollinators and play an important role in agriculture.
Beekeepers are people who keep honeybees.
In addition to collecting honey, some beekeepers provide pollination services to farmers.
They do this by raising and managing colonies of bees.
Farmers need the colonies to pollinate their crops.
