A. 10 to 20 flowers.

C. 50 to 100 flowers.
D. Over 100 flowers.
Bees are very hard - working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.

1e
Imagine you are the writer.Write one more paragraph about bees and add itto the text.
Now that we know bees are in trouble, let's take action to protect them! First, plant more flowers in your garden. If you don't have a garden, pots on the balcony work too. Sunflowers, roses, and daisies are great choices—bees love their sweet nectar and need pollen from them. Next, cut down on using pesticides on plants. These chemicals are harmful and can make bees sick. Also, tell your family and friends why bees are so important. All in all, every small thing we do can save more bees and keep our planet healthy!
