Farmers do this so that the bees can fertilize the blossoms. If this doesn't happen, the apples will not form.
Farmers breed bees since humans need bees to pollinate many of our fruits and vegetables. If there were no bees people would suffer major food shortages.
We,as humans need bees to pollinate many of our fruits and vegetables. If there were no bees we we would suffer major food shortages.
Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
Humans use selective breeding, which takes advantage OS nauturally occurring genetic variation in plants, animals, and other organisms, to pass desired traits on to the next generation of organisms.
Corn was developed through selective breeding, which was a process that involved selecting plants with the highest yields and the seeds that didn't come off the plants the easiest over those with low yields and heads that easily "shattered" when harvested.

Hybrid plants are selectively bred within a species (corn with corn, lilacs with lilacs, tomatoes with tomatoes, etc.), mostly by pollinating one kind of the same species with another. Genetic modification involves taking a gene or genes from one species and forcing them into the seeds of another species in a lab. Hybridization is vertical breeding (within a species) and genetic modification is horizontal breeding (between species).

Historically early selective breeding has made blueberries, corn, strawberries, ect. bigger, while has made other things, such as live stock smaller, as well as inedible things edible (such as poisonous wild almonds). Selective breeding in the long run effects the entire organism; such as lettuce being selectively bred for bigger leaves, while broccoli in the same family was selectively bred for a bigger flower.
Breeds of: Cattle, Horses, Cats, Dogs, Birds....so 1. is animals for pets and food Plants such as corn, wheat, oats, flowers, fruits...all selectively bred for color, food value, beauty...so 2. is plants
The first Americans, particularly the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, developed corn through a process of selective breeding. They started with a wild grass called teosinte and gradually domesticated it over thousands of years, selecting for desirable traits like larger kernels and more productive plants. This process involved saving and replanting seeds from plants with these desired traits, leading to the development of maize, or corn as we know it today.
The Corn snake grows up to around 72 inches (1.8 metres). The 'morph' of a snake has no bearing on its size - they are simply colour variations that have been introduced through selective breeding.
