Bees are a bit choosy. They don’t like flying when it’s cold outside. Windy
or rainy weather also stops them from going out. Apple farmers know their
apples need bees. So, every spring, they buy bees and let them fly freely.
Usually, they put one honeycomb for each acre (英亩) of the orchard
(果园).
When the weather is nice, bees start their job. They go to apple flowers to
collect nectar (花蜜).While collecting nectar, their wings pick up the pollen.
When they fly to another flower, they carry the pollen and help the flower get
pollinated. Sometimes, a bee might use pollen from one kind of apple tree on

another kind. That’s why a delicious red apple seed might not grow into a
delicious red apple tree.
Farmers use a way called grafting (嫁接) techniques to get the right
apple trees. They take a small branch from a parent tree and connect it to a
young tree. The two trees grow together. This way, there are many kinds of
apples in the world. Next time you eat an apple, think about how bees and
farmers help make it taste so good.

When you have a fever or a toothache, you may take some aspirin
(阿司匹林) to alleviate (减轻) pain. But do you know that the medicine
comes from the willow trees (柳树)? In the 5th century BC, the Greek doctor,
Hippocrates, gave willow-based remedies to his patients to alleviate their pains.
In the 1800s, the British doctor William Withering happened to know that
purple foxgloves had something to do with heart problems. So he started to work
on the plant. After nine years of experimentation, he successfully treated 163
patients with the medicine of purple foxgloves. This natural medicine is still
given to people with heart problems nowadays.
