Honeybee
One of the most iconic insects on the planet, the honeybee is an incredibly important animal that dedicates itself to the survival of our planet. To make honey, honeybees visit flowers to collect nectar, thus spreading pollen from plant to plant. This act helps pollinate all kinds of plants and crops that are crucial to keeping humans fed.
