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
get nectar (花蜜).While getting nectar, their wings touch 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

Farmers use a way called grafting (嫁接) 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.#1.5
