The queen bee lays eggs, the worker bees collect nectar (花蜜) and make honey, and the drones (雄蜂) help the queen. Bees are very important to nature. They help flowers grow by carrying pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. This is called pollination (授粉). Without bees, many plants would not be able to make fruit or seeds. However, bees are in danger now. People use too many pesticides (杀虫剂) on crops, and their living places are becoming smaller and smaller. We should do something to protect bees, like planting more flowers and not using harmful chemicals in our gardens. 根据短文内容，判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。 ( )16. Bees live alone and work by themselves. ( )17. The worker bees lay eggs in the hive. ( )18. Pollination helps plants make fruit and seeds. ( )19. Bees are safe and their numbers are increasing. ( )20. We can plant more flowers to protect bees.
