Honeybees play an interesting and important role in nature. In addition to making honey, honeybees help many plants reproduce. They do this by pollinating the plant, which means to transfer pollen. Pollination occurs when pollen is moved within a plant's flower or carried to another flower. This is how the plants reproduce. For reproduction to succeed, the pollen must be transferred from the male part of a flower to the female part.
蜜蜂在自然界中扮演的角色有趣而重要。除了酿蜜之外，蜜蜂还帮助多种植物繁殖。它们通过给植物授粉，也就是传递花粉来实现。授粉发生时花粉在植物花朵内移动或被携带到另一朵花朵。这就是植物繁殖的方式。为了繁殖成功，花粉必须从花朵的雄性部分转移到雌性部分。

Many plants depend on pollination for reproduction. These include many fruits and vegetables. Besides honeybees, there are many other pollinators, including birds, insects and other kinds of bees. Without enough pollinators, many of our favorite fruits and vegetables would become more expensive and hard to find. These include almonds and cherries.
很多植物依靠授粉繁殖，包括多种水果和蔬菜。除了蜜蜂，还有许多其他传粉者，包括鸟类、昆虫和其他蜂类。如果没有足够的授粉者，我们喜爱的许多水果和蔬菜将变得更加昂贵和难以发现，包括杏仁和樱桃。

Honeybees are important pollinators and play an important role in agriculture. Beekeepers are people who keep honeybees. In addition to collecting honey, some beekeepers provide pollination services to farmers. They do this by raising and managing colonies of bees. Farmers need the colonies to pollinate their crops. Beekeepers can provide and manage bee colonies for farmers.
蜜蜂是重要的授粉者，在农业生产中扮演重要角色。养蜂人是指养蜜蜂的人，除了采集蜂蜜，一些养蜂人还为农民提供授粉服务，他们通过饲养和管理蜂群来完成。农民需要蜂群来给庄稼授粉，养蜂人为农民提供和管理蜂群。
