Requirement
6. Honeybees, pollination, and what would happen without pollinators
Required
How and why honeybees are used in pollinating food crops, the problems facing the bee population, and what the loss of pollinators would mean for people. It is the requirement behind the honey super route at 8(e).
Notes and warnings
Note. Three things, not one: how and why honeybees are used in pollinating food crops, the problems facing bee populations now, and what the loss of pollinators would mean for people. The third is the part that gets left out.
