Which insect group includes bees and is known for pollination?

• A. Bees
• B. Lacewings
• C. Flies
• D. Spiders

Answer: (A)

Pollination by insects is a key ecological service, and bees exemplify this role. Bees visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen, and their fuzzy bodies pick up pollen grains that are then carried to other blossoms as they forage. This pollen transfer facilitates fertilization, helping plants produce seeds and fruits, which is why bees are singled out as a major pollinating group. Lacewings are primarily predators of pests, flies can pollinate but not as efficiently or consistently, and spiders are not insects at all. So the insect group known for pollination and that includes bees is bees themselves, highlighting their important role in supporting flowering plants and crops.
