Bees are considered the most important group of insects as far as pollination of plants is concerned.
And pollinators have a huge impact on the crops produced by the agriculture industry worldwide.
“Crops such as apple, berries, cantaloupes, broccoli, rape seed oil seed, almonds, cotton are all bee pollinated,” Alan Read, founder of environmental services business AMES Group says.
“And were it not for bee’s production, such crops would be severely diminished.”
Did you know that 30% percent of cultivated crops and around 90% of wild plants are pollinated by honeybees?
The brainteaser was created by Swift Blinds Direct.
David Roebuck, Managing Director at Swift Blinds Direct commented on the puzzle, saying: “Brainteasers and optical illusions are always a hit around the office and to be able to tie in with such an important cause is great.
“The hidden bee has really stumped a lot of people!
“We hope the blind generates some fun and a talking point among people and raises some awareness at the same time.”
Facts about bees
- There are an estimated 20,000 different species of bees in the world
- There are approximately 3.5 trillion individual honey bees
- One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators such as bees
- Social bees, such as honeybees and bumblebees, live in hives or nests, above or below the ground
- Solitary bees nest in the ground
- Bees actually have four wings – two wings each side hook together to form one larger pair when flying and then unhook when they’re not flying
- Honeybees have a dance move called the ‘waggle dance’
Certain brainteasers and optical illusions, particularly those that involve patterns or sequences, can help strengthen both short-term and long-term memory.
By working through puzzles on a regular basis, you will actively engage the brain’s memory systems and directly improve your future attempts at visual challenges.
Many brain teasers, like this one, require challengers thinking outside the box.
This enhances creative problem-solving skills by encouraging the brain to come up with innovative solutions.
It also translates to real-life situations where you might need to approach challenges in new and inventive ways.
