Recent years have seen a boom in the power of plants. Before the current trends of plant-based diets and natural oils gained popularity, chemist Percy Lavon Julian recognized plants’ beneficial role in human health. Julian was an expert in plant-based synthesis. Julian was an expert in plant-based synthesis.

Pollinators are insects or other living creatures that transfer pollen between the male and female parts of plants. This allows plants to form seeds and fruits. However, honey bees produce six extremely important products: honey, pollen, royal jelly , beeswax , propolis , and venom. What is Beeswax?

These trees are gymnosperms , and belong to a larger group of seed-bearing plants that do not produce fruits or flowers to protect their seeds. Rather, their seeds aren’t protected by anything at all! This means that their seeds aren’t covered by or enclosed in any structure. Yet, these seeds still have to be made.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male parts to the female parts of plants. Pollination leads to the formation of fruits and seeds. Pollinators are responsible for one-third of the crop production in the world. Honey bees, along with birds, bats, and other animals, help in a process known as pollination.
