 Honeybees literally have 300 taste buds on the tip of their antennae to distinguish between the flowers which they taste. To know about the ecological importance of this amazing species, watch this video. The first importance is that these honeybees ensures biodiversity in the area in which they inhabit. We all know that one of the important roles played by honeybees is pollination. As pollinators, bees play an important part in every aspect of the ecosystem. They support the growth of trees, flowers and other plants. In turn, trees, flowers and plants serve as food and shelter for other creatures. So through pollination, the honeybees contribute to the existence of our interconnected ecosystems and allow a diverse number of different species to coexist. Through this, the bees helps in ensuring biodiversity. Now coming to the second important function of the honeybees. The produce of honeybees that is honey act as a food source for other animals. See bees produce honey to feed their colonies during the cold winter months. The honey produced by the bees is also used by other animals as their food source. Bees themselves are also a part of the larger food chain of the forest ecosystem. At least 24 species of birds including the blackbird, hummingbird and starling prey on bees. Many spiders and insects like dragonflies and preying mantises eat bees as well. So the existence of bees is necessary for the survival of the forest food chain. Now coming to the third important function of the honeybees in the ecosystem. Honeybees helps in conserving indigenous trees. Remember note that bees produce good quality honey when they collect pollen from a variety of flora. So to collect pollen from different types of trees and plants, they do a lot of work. Due to this, they help in the pollination of indigenous trees and indirectly help in their conservation. All these source that without honeybees or forests will not be diverse or gardens will be bare and habitats of birds and animals will decline. So ultimately conserving honeybees is important for the survival of us humans. Take a look at this article. As the name suggests, it's about the discovery of a new honeybee species in the western gods region. The honeybee species is named apis carinodian. It is given the common name the indian black honeybee. This species of honeybee got evolved from apis kerana or the asian honeybee. The bee got acclimated to the hot and humid environment of the western gods and evolved into a separate subspecies.
