Before this they pollinated each flower manually. Farmers have always relied on bees to pollinate their crops, with the native bees living in close proximity doing the lion share of the work. With the advent of factory farms where acres of monocultures (a single crop) are grown, honeybees are brought in because they fly up to three miles from their hive for flower nectar (and hence pollinate). Although better pollinators, native bees have shorter flight ranges.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01259711491119157000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591206854607528593.post-76843378834853739762016-05-19T10:33:44.634-07:002016-05-19T10:33:44.634-07:00It like it overall, but you forgot to introduce th...It like it overall, but you forgot to introduce the quotes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591206854607528593.post-4565973832564058932016-05-19T10:32:58.525-07:002016-05-19T10:32:58.525-07:00I like the facts in your introduction.
