Honeybees are very crucial to all beings on this Earth. Honeybees produce an enormous amount of honey for us humans to economically benefit from. Honeybees also benefit humans agriculturally (and of course economically) when it comes to pollination. Honeybees pollination helps distribute pollen from crop to crop/plant to plant in order for the crop/plant to grow and flourish. Without pollination, plants are not able to grow ecologically and maintain the ecosystem/environment.
Although they are beneficial to humans agriculturally and economically, they are sadly harmful medically and structurally. It is a threat medically and structurally when they have their hives too close in proximity with humans, which is called a bee infestation.
Animals also benefit greatly from honeybees’ hives and honey. Even though bears break into their hives and steal their honey and honeycombs, other smaller animals like raccoons, skunks, and other insects are able to feed on the broken hive full of honey and larvae. These two things help sustain the life of these small animals and insects.
The origin of the honeybee is in fact not North America, but they are originated from eastern tropical Africa and spread from there to Northern Europe. There are in fact other native California bees, but these honeybees were brought from settlers from Europe.
