ResponderEliminarPeople are afraid of bees because they can sting you. There are some people that kill these little passive animals. Meanwhile there are people that kill them, there are people who take care of them and help them to survive. In my case, I love bees. I think they are very beautiful animals, and I think they are very helpful for nature and the flowers.
EliminarAnyway, people don't know the damage that they cause by only killing a little bee.
Also thank you for congrats me for succeeding in my B1 exams.

I´m sure that you have got scared many times every time you have seen a bee because you thought that it could hurt you . However, are bees as dangerous as we think ?. What is happening with bees ? and why are they so important?.
ResponderEliminarAs you know , bees are flying insects that have an important role as pollinating agents in plant´s reproduction . Moreover , they have an ecological and economic importance . First because about 70% of plants with flowers need the pollination by insects and bees are the main pollinating insects. Secondly, because honey is the main sweet , natural substance produced by bees and it´s something that people like buying and it is also a quality product .
As you can see , bees can be very important for us because if there were not bees , plants could not reproduce and as a result , we couldn´t eat natural products like fruits or vegetables and shops couldn´t sell these products. Despite all this , many bee colonies are disappearing probably because of parasites , climate change or by the use of pesticides .
I think that bees are finally living organism although they can hurt us and they have an important role so, next time you see one , first think about that before killing it .
I think that there is always a myth with bees because the people say that bees sting you, as a result of that the majority of people are afraid of bees. So, when they see a bee they think that they are going to stingthem, but this only happens if you disturb her.
ResponderEliminarThere are people that they don't have afraid of bees. But i´m one of the people that I am more afraid of them. Even so, bees are necessary for all the world because they are essential for the pollination.
I think that “Free flowers to bring happiness” is a beautiful act, because any person that received the bunch of flowers they will have a funny and beautiful time. I think that there should be more acts like this because they only bring happiness.

All the animals in this world help us in something, as useless as they may seem, all of them make our life posible. Many people think that bees are useless, but they help us in many things. Bees provide us with honey to us and pollinate flowers. This things are more important than they appear. Most of my friends are afraid of them, but I don't care about bees.
ResponderEliminarSince i was very young, i have loved all type of insects and i look for information of them. My favourite one was the queen bee because it is the only one wich can lay eggs.
We need to take a lot of care of animals, because there are dying out, and without animals we will have a different life, much more difficult and much saddler.
The animals are so important and we are forgetting them, we need to look after them more.
LAURA MARTÍN MOLIZ 4ºA
In my opinion, bees have always been harmless insects that contribute to nature with the pollination of flowers,
ResponderEliminarThere are people who kill them because they think they are going to bite them on purpose but not the truth is that these insects are our friends and there is no reason to fear them, if they bite you it will be because they feel threatened or because you are bothering them.
I think that when you see a bee, don't hurt it since she has no intention of hurting you, she just wants to do her job and help nature.
Raúl Díaz España 4A
Every animal or insect is important in our world as useless as it may seem. Some of them act as food for humans, other make food and products than after we consume and other help plants to reproduce pollinating them.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion bees are one of the most important insects in the word. The make delicious honey with pollen, they make plants reproduce, by taking their pollen and spreading it all over the floor, bees also make wax, which is the material with we make candles and bees also are eaten by other animal and insects, and if there are no bees, those animals will die because they’ll have no food to eat; that’s why bees are so important.
When someone sees a bee, most people think in kill it because we think that the bee is going to sting us, but that’s not true. If we leave the bee alone and we don’t disturb it, it won’t sting us. Farmers also kill bees, because they spray their plants with poisonous pesticides which kill bees when they collect pollen.
In fact, I can’t imagine a world without bees and without their delicious honey, and remember to not kill them, because they’re harmless if we don’t disturb them.

ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, I think that flowers do make bees happy, it is as if you came home, you would be happy. My favorite flowers are roses, because they inspire me a lot and they inspire me more when they are black. I love flowers, and you, do you like flowers?
ResponderEliminarRocío Avellanedas Nocete 2°ESO A
I think pollen makes bees happy because thanks to it they can create honey and also build their honeycombs for their little larvae. I also know that they have a system like air conditioning and what they do is spit on their wings and shake them as they refresh their hive. I think that flower make bees happy because they know it makes pollen and this makes them very happy

Many people see that some animals are not useful in any sense, those that they see less important are normally insects, but it is not like that every animal is important and necessary for the planet, for example when ecosystems are formed if an animal or plant disappear it harms another and so on.
ResponderEliminarBees, as everyone knows, are flying insects, and they have a very important role, and it is not to sting us, we have all been scared when we have seen a bee since we think it is going to sting us, but it does not have to be so.
The role of bees that is so important to the planet is that of pollinating agents in the reproduction of plants. A large percentage of plants need their flowers to be pollinated, and the most important pollinating insect is the bee. Honey comes from them, which is a food that everyone has at home and is used for many things, and also wax, which is used for candles and other things.

ResponderEliminarI think that all insects and animals are important in the world and we cannot extinguish animals in the world. Bees are very common insect that we can usually seein the countryside. Many people are afraid of bees when they see them.They are harmless for our life if we do not do anything to them, sometimes they can sting us but that is nothing.And bees have a very important function in the world and that is . These are the most important insects in the process of pollination all the flowers of the plants or trees that exist and without them we could not live in this world because they are essential for our life and that of all.If bees were extinct we could not grow any fruit trees because the flowers would not pollinate and we could not bear fruit, these insects are the most important to pollenize.
ResponderEliminarPeople say that if a bee is near you it will sting you but it is not true, they will only sting you if you disturb them.
ResponderEliminarIt seems that bees don't help us, but that is a lie, they help us a lot by giving us delicious honey and pollinating the flowers.
Many people are afraid of bees, I am afraid of them but not as much as when I was little.
Denisa Andreea Tomoroga 4º A
In my opinion, I think that all animals help nature a lot and I think that flowers do make bees happy. Many people are afraid of bees. But they bring us many positive things, they create honey
ResponderEliminarthat we consume.

Animals are very important in our lives, because they help us or provide us with things that are necessary in humans. Many people think that bees are useless but they are smarter than they seem and they facilitate many things such as pollinating flowers, giving us honey ...
ResponderEliminarMany people panic about bees, I think this is useless that what you have to do is stay still and the bees will leave.
In the world of bees that I love is the queen bee because she is the same as me, the only thing she does is command and she does nothing ... I love it ...
We need to take more care of the abnormals because they are very necessary and many species are becoming extinct and we cannot reach this level because without animals the human being could not even exist.
Antonio Carrascosa 4ºA
I think that the animals are ver important and that without them our lives would be very different. The bees are insects more important in our lives although it doesn’t seem.
ResponderEliminarBees pollinate more than 25,000 thousand types of plants and thanks to them, 60% of the fruits and vegetables that we eat today do not disappear. All people are afraid of these insects but they have never scared me. Because if you don't hurt them, neither do you and bees make honey and wax, which we used for candles and other things.
José Adrián González 4A
The bees are more important than snakes because the snakes bite people in the country, but the bees give food. The bees are the most good because give food, the bees help the plants and trees , help the insect, help create the fruits and veggetables of today. The bees are always work ,and are the most good work, because they want has got much food for the winter. The bees are very responsability.
ResponderEliminarRuben Sabio Prados 2º ESO A
Bees are much more than a small insect that humans share the planet with, most people are afraid when a bee approaches them, because they think it will sting them right away, but this is not true if we do not we do nothing.
ResponderEliminarThey are responsible for pollinating and to produce one kilogram of honey, a bee would have to visit 4 million flowers.
An interesting fact is that the queen bee is the only one that can lay eggs and is capable of laying around 1,500 per day.

ResponderEliminarI believe that all insects and animals are important in the world and we cannot extinguish the animals in the world. Bees are a very common insect that we usually see in the field. These are the most important insects in the pollination process of all the flowers of the plants or trees that exist and without them we could not live in this world because they are essential for our life and that of all. They make delicious honey with pollen, they make plants reproduce, by taking their pollen and spreading it all over the floor, bees also make wax, which is the material with which we make candles and bees are also eaten by other animals and insects , and if there are no bees, those animals will die because they will have nothing to eat; that's why bees are so important.
ResponderEliminarWhen everyone sees a bee, he automatically thinks that the bee is going to sting. There I am the first that start to enter in panic. But do not worry anymore my friend, stinging people is not their task.
ResponderEliminarBees have a principal role in pollination like the wind or more they help the pollen to arrive in the flowers. They are the main insects to commit the pollination. But also, bees make honey and wax, which we use for candles and other things.
Now, just before killing a bee or any other insect, think about how they help nature and, really for all of us. They make so much for the Earth, so thank you very much bees!
Animals are very important and they help us with things that are necessary to live.
ResponderEliminarThe role that bees play for life is fundamental, because they are the main pollinators. If it were not for the pollination of bees, the plants would cease to exist, and therefore, there won’t be food.
There are many people who are afraid of bees, and I am one of them and I get very nervous when I see them around me, but all you have to do is not move and they will go away by themselves.
SARA PEINADO 4A
Nowadays, bees are very important and without them, we couldn't live. Bees are the ones responsible for pollinating many plants and for this reason, we should stop killing them.
ResponderEliminarPeople are usually afraid when a bee approaches them but if you don't do anything to it, it won't do anything to you either. Little by little there are fewer bees left because We kill them. We aren't very aware of the situation but bees pollinate 60% of plants and thanks to them we can eat most of the vegetables we eat.
We should stop killing them because they are very important to us and without them, we couldn't live.
RAÚL GARCÍA JIMÉNEZ 4ºA
Always I was approached by bees, I was very scared. But, did bees really as dangerous as we thought?.
ResponderEliminarBees are insects that are important for pollinating plants. In addition, they have an ecological and economic importance, because they produce honey and it’s a food that people like to buy, because it is of good quality and natural
Why are they important? because if there were no such insects, the plants could not reproduce and we could not eat natural products such as fruits or vegetables.
Finally, I think these insects can harm us, but they’re important in our lives. But they don’t have to be killed.
Animals make up the biosphere and fulfill important functions in ecosystems, such as being decomposers of waste, pollinators and controllers of biological balance, among many other functions. In addition to the typical species of birds, which we know well enough and with which we live all our lives, such as pigeons, sparrows and magpies, also the great tit, verdigris, or blackbirds are common neighbors in our cities, to which the parrots have now joined.
ResponderEliminarSara Rodriguez
In my opinion, bees are one of the very important animals for human existence because they pollinate flowers and also make honey.
ResponderEliminarCompared to other insects such as wasps, which are very aggressive insects, these insects are very important.
Bees are generally not aggressive insects, they have to feel very threatened to attack but still there are many people who are afraid of bees
Pablo Javier Flores Funes 1ºBach A
Bees are very important insects. Many people are afraid of us, since they can sting us. I don't think bees are dangerous as some people say.
ResponderEliminarFirst of all we are going to talk about the importance of bees, since they are very important, because they help nature. Bees do a process called pollination. This process is important for nature, the economy.
Secondly, we can talk about the fear that people have of him. Bees are not dangerous insects, only sometimes if they are in danger they sting us. Many people, when they see a bee, kill them out of fear. They shouldn't be killed because, as we have already discussed, they are very important.
In summary, bees are harmless insects and should not be killed. Thanks to bees we have things like fruits. Bees also produce honey, which many people love. I don't like honey very much.
