crop pollination
B
Crop pollination is the transfer of pollen to food plants, enabling them to produce fruit and seeds.
Most crops depend on insects—especially bees—for pollination, though some rely on wind or other animals.
Commercial agriculture often brings in managed honeybee colonies specifically for this purpose: Almond growers rent hives for crop pollination each spring.
