Bees
Tarwater argues that bees are much more than just stingers:
- They are the only insect that provides a food for humans to consume
- Responsible for pollinating much of the food that we eat
- If one were to place a bee hive next to a garden, the yields of that garden would increase
- They have a fascinating social structure in which they cannot live by themselves
