Influenced by her mother and father and by chance upon seeing a beehive, Martha Flores Garcia, originally from Xochimilco, decides to become a beekeeper. She works with hives and bees for about 20 years in her apiary between the borders of Mexico City and the State of Morelos. Through the breeding and care of the bees, and once they complete the process, which lasts about three weeks to a month, wearing a mask, gloves, overalls, and a smoker with pine cone, Martha collects honey, jelly, and wax to make and obtain various products such as propolis, pollen, cosmetics, essences, nutritional supplements, chocolates, candies, among others. Approximately 60,000 bees live in each hive and/or breeding chamber. According to the National Atlas of Bees and Derivatives, the word ''bee'' is the common name for insects belonging to the superfamily Apoidea of the order Hymenoptera (membrane-winged). Currently, there are more than 20,000 species of bees worldwide, classified into nine families, six of which are present in Mexico, with more than 1,800 described species. To raise awareness about the importance of pollinators, the threats they face, and their contribution to sustainable development, the United Nations declares May 20th as World Bee Day. The main objective is to protect bees and other pollinators so they can make a significant contribution to solving problems related to the world's food supply and ending hunger in developing countries.

MARKOWA, POLAND - MAY 14, 2023: Vierw of a colorful beehive with bees next to the blooming rapeseed field, captured on May 14, 2023, in Markowa, near Rzeszow, Poland. Rapeseed fields are not only beautiful and picturesque, but also widely cultivated for their oil, which is a healthy alternative to other fats, as well as for biofuels, animal feed, and industrial products. Poland is the fourth largest producer of rapeseed in Europe. Despite its widespread cultivation, the EU prohibits the use of genetically modified rapeseed, only allowing conventional forms for cultivation.

Cuckoo bee (Thyreus) is an Old World genus of bees known for stealing food and shelter from other bees. Thyreus bees don't collect any pollen to store as food, and they don't build nests. Instead of visiting flowers, female Thyreus cruise around looking for underground nest openings of other bee species. When she finds the ground nest of hapless mining bee, she barges in and lays eggs. When her cuckoo bee larvae hatch, they first eat the eggs of the other bee and then eat all the stored pollen provisioned to feed the offspring. A Cuckoo bee is on the holy basil or tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) plant in the afternoon at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on September 11, 2022.
