Bees visit the flowers on the apple trees to get food how might a disease that kills bees affect the number of apples the trees make?

When a bee visits an apple tree, as it goes from flower to flower it transfers pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of the next, fertilizing the flower. Apple flowers have five ovaries, each with two ovules, and each with its own stigma. All of these have to be pollinated for fully developed apples to form. Bees are by far the major pollinator, so if we lost all the bees there would be very few, if any, apples.

How might a disease that kills bees affect the number of apples the tree make?
The disease would kill the same bees that pollinate the apple tree. Lack of pollination will lead to lack seed formation and fertilization thus no stimulation of the fruit set. Tree fruit pollen should be carried from one flower to the other flower to enhance more yields.

How do you use math cubes to act a problem?
Get the total cubes you need and then subtract the given data (Example: Georgia has 30 apples in all. She has 10 red apples. So there is 20 apples left.).

Then times it by a number (Example: 9x2=18 so there are 18 green apples and there are 2 granny smith apples, which equal 20 apples).

Does the size of the apple determine the amount of seeds it has?
No. The number of seeds is determined long before the apple reaches its maximum size. It depends on the number of ovules in the flower, and the number of seeds that are fertilized and which then mature. Seed counts in various fruit varies from species to species as well as cultivar to cultivar
