A bee is photographed on a flower in Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica, on July 9, 2026. Bees play a crucial role as pollinators, transferring pollen between flowers while foraging for nectar, which aids in the reproduction of many flowering plant species. Costa Rica, covering only 0.03 percent of Earth's landmass, is home to nearly 5 percent of all estimated species, making it one of the most biodiverse countries globally.
