Fruits such as apples and pears will rot if exposed to certain fungi. These fungi are relatively weak but can attack damaged or overly ripened fruit. When fruits such as apples ripen, they give off a gas called ethylene. Ethylene gas accelerates the ripening process, which will lead to over ripening. Taking certain precautions to prevent exposure to fungi and over ripening will prevent the rotting of the fruit. Washing the fruit in lemon juice and/or storing the fruit in airtight containers and removing rotting fruit are examples of ways to prevent rotting. it can also rot in warm & dry areas. hope this help u :) :p
How does an apple turn red or green?
Nothing really, unless it's UV light. Just a little UV light that's not directly on it to cause it to heat up. Getting some UV light can help slow the breakdown process that causes the banana to turn that black color you see when they have been sitting for awhile. Keeping bananas in the dark will actually dramatically speed up this process. Some black is good if you like your banana sweeter and is really good for making banana pudding. It's not that their is more sugars, but the sugars start to breakdown making then more potent to your taste buds.

Bees depend on any type of blooming plant for their food. There have been many studies saying that bee pollination is essential for crop growth. Without bees, our food supply would be in great danger. The way the bee helps out is through pollination. As the bee gathers what it needs from one flowering bud to another, it takes with it pollen and distributes it. It has been shown that bee pollination results in better quality produce but also may help against pests.
"An apple... will only develope all the seeds inside if it has been pollinated by several bees and fully fertilized. It is possible for an apple flower to develope about ten seeds. if all the seeds do not develop, the fruit itself does not develop where the seeds are not developing. This results in poorly shapped apple of low weight."

That tree will now produce fruit from both its original flowers and the new branch. Theoretically, one tree may be producing every variety of apple or other applicable fruit known.
