In other words, without bees, fresh fruit and vegetables would be fewer and fewer around the world.Therefore, we human should make our efforts to protect bees.
As for what to do to help, plant some plants to attract bees to your garden. If you see bees around you, take some photos and post them on the Internet so scientists can help find out where bees live and how bees move. We can come up with more ideas to save bee populations around the world.
