Aggressive insects like bees, yellow paper-wasp, and various flies sit on mango and an environmentalist is showing on his hand on World Environment Day at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on 05 June 2021. Bees are among the hardest working creatures on the planet providing the important ecosystem service of ensuring pollination and thus reproduction of many cultivated and wild plants, which is crucial for food production, human livelihoods, and biodiversity, according to a report of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN). A rise in factors, such as pesticide use and urbanization, means that bees are currently in decline, negatively affecting many of the Earth's ecosystems.
