The bee, this perfectly organized insect, has always captivated man who, since the dawn of time, has been able to exploit the fabulous and laborious work of this hymenoptera.
This is how man has managed to extract a large number of products from the hive such as honey, wax, royal jelly, pollen, venom, without forgetting the advantages that the bee presents in the field of pollination of cultivated plants, making it possible to increase agricultural yields quantitatively and qualitatively.
In most regions of the world, the populations of wild bees and other insects have in recent years become insufficient for the pollination of crops and they are in continual decline due to the use of insecticides on the one hand, and on the other hand, methods of exploitation and cultivation of the land which have destroyed the places which offered shelter to pollinating insects.
Thus, all that remains is the bee whose breeding is controlled by man who can ensure the pollination of crops. The bee-plant relationship, which is of significant interest to the beekeeper and the farmer, deserves to be strengthened because of the mutual benefits they derive from their activities.
