Honeybee pollinating apple blossom
Apple trees and honey bees are both native to the Old World and are particularly well adapted to one another. In what must be one of Nature's most mutally benefiical transactions, the bee gives the apple blossom a sexual thrill by transfering pollen from another tree. In return the bee takes a sip of sweet nectar, or collects pollen to feed the babies back at the beehive. The side effect of this sweet deal are delicious apples for us to enjoy at our table. This three way relationship between fruits, bees and mankind puts into focus the importance of bees and beekeepers in our society.
