Bees are the only insects that make food for humans

Honey Bees are the only insects that make food for humans.

Not only do they make us food, but 1/3 of the human diet comes from insect pollinated plants -- 80% of which is the work of bees. Personally, I am not a fan of bees (I am terrified) but I do like plants and food, so I guess they aren't that bad.

Thank you Snapple cap for bringing this topic to my attention. For more info visit Herbs N' Honey.

Just wanted you to know for future reference :-)

Thanks. My daughter asked me the question "which bugs make food?" and you answered it for us.
