Although
we think of bees as nasty insects that want to sting us,
they are not. Other insects destroy crops, bite, or are
an irritating nuisance. But, honey bees is essential to
the welfare of mankind. Not only does it provide man with
honey -a delightful food with many delicate flavors -
but, more important, the honey bee insures that plants
like tomatoes and apples can get pollinated and grow for
us to eat.
Honey bees, like other bees, are wild rather than domesticated.
The species would survive in the wild state without any
interference from man and its behavior would continue
to be unchanged. Any success man has attained in utilizing
honey bees for their productivity is the result of his
close study of their natural instincts and behavior. He
has used this knowledge to develop management practices
that permit him to operate them for his own benefit.
