20 May was World Bee Day! These little insects are best known for being social, hive-dwelling, honey-producing, busy busy pollinators. Without them, we wouldn’t enjoy such an abundance of avocados, apples, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, peaches, nectarines, cashews, almonds, and so much more! Albert Einstein said, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left.” If they’re THAT important, then of course we have to test how much you really know about bees (well, that we can fit into 10 questions).
