Insects, like bees, are important for plants as they help to pollinate them by taking the pollen from flower to flower as they feed. 75% of crop plants rely on pollinators such as bees. That is why we need to keep safe spaces with wild flowers for the insects to feed and provide places where they can live.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
