❏ Read the text below & answer the questions

that follow this student’s written TDA response

According to the text, honeybees are important because they help plants, fruits, vegetables, and even people. The

author stated, “without the honeybee, many types of plants would die out.” When the text said, “Some plants would

never be pollinated if it wasn’t for the honeybee,” I inferred that we need honeybees in order to have fruits,

vegetables, and plants. In the third paragraph, the author wrote “almost ¼ of all pollination of fruit that is

produced in the United States id done by the honeybee.” Even though the honeybees are disappearing due to the

Colony Collapse Disorder, honeybees are important because we need them for different things in life.
