Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven to nine recognized families,[1] though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical for the superfamily. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.
The best-known bee species is the European honey bee, which, as its name suggests, produces honey, as do a few other types of bee. Human management of this species is known as beekeeping or apiculture.
Bees are the favorite meal of Merops apiaster, the bee-eater bird. Other common predators are kingbirds, mockingbirds, beewolves, and dragonflies.

Bees have a role to play in the reproduction of plants because when bees grab pollen from flowers sometimes they grab too much than they can hold so they drop some on the ground creating more flowers.

They place poin in the flowers so it helpes them grow.
The bee helps by spreading spreads pollen.
The role bee's play in the reproduction of some plants is that they spread pollen everywhere.
Bees put pollen in different flowers.
The role bee's play in the reproduction of some plants is that they spread pollen to other flowers
pollination
Bees pollenate flowers, allowing them to grow seeds. The seeds grow into more flowers.
The bees play a role in the reproduction in some plants by pollinating each one.
the role bees play in reproduction of some plants is by polinating them.
Pollen is diploid. I think this reproduction is asexual because flowers don't have eggs or sperm.
*Haploid
bees polinate plants and thats what the bees do
they polinate
The role of bees are that they put polin on the plants like flowers.

What role do bees play in reproduction of some plants?
The role that bees play in reproduction of some plants is pollinating each flower. Bees bring the pollen to different flowers.
The bee plays a role by pollinating the flower!
The bee plays a role in that by pollinating flowers.
The role bees have in reproduction for some plants are pollinating other flowers.

the role bees play in plant reprododuction is pollination .
reprododuction is pollination .

The reproduction that the bee does is pollenation.

bees polinate flowers
Bees are sexual and do there stuff by pollenning on the flower wich is the hapliod which is a sex cell

Bees carry pollen, and pollen is basically the sperm of the flower world. Pollen pollenates the seeds of other plants, thus allowing them to grow.
Bees collect and carry pollen plant to plant. When they do this it spreads the pollen out.
Bees have a role to play in the reproduction of plants because when bees grab pollen from flowers sometimes they grab too much than they can hold so they drop some on the ground creating more flowers.
they pollonate them.

Bees spread pollen from flower to flower.
The role that bees play in the reproduction of plants is that they spread the polen and makes pollenates them.
They carry pollen to trees
bees carry pollen from plant to plant making a lot more plants
the bees carry pollen to other plants
Bees carry pollen from one plant to another to help them reproduce.
Bees bring pollen from plant to plant spreading around and helping them reproduce.
the bees transport pollen
