ARTICLE
Why Bees Matter
Bees may be small, but they play a huge role in nature. As they move from flower to flower collecting food, they carry pollen that helps plants produce fruits and seeds. In fact, about one-third of the food we eat depends on bees and other insects.
Sadly, bee numbers have been falling in recent years. Scientists believe that chemicals used on farms and the loss of wild flowers are two major causes. To help, some people plant flowers in their gardens and avoid using harmful sprays. Protecting bees is not only about saving insects — it is about protecting our own food supply.
Questions 33–35
33According to the article, how do bees help plants?
ABy eating harmful insects
BBy keeping the soil warm
CBy carrying pollen between flowers
DBy providing water
34What is one cause of falling bee numbers?
AToo much rain
BChemicals used on farms
CWarmer oceans
DBright city lights
35What is the main message of the article?
ABees are dangerous to farms
BBees make too much noise
CProtecting bees protects our food supply
DGardens need fewer flowers
