Question

in the \shifting landscapes\ section, how does the author illustrate the idea that bees require specific diets?

by explaining the ways in which bees are nourished by apiaries

by using a comparison to show how a limited human diet has health consequences

by presenting facts and statistics about the diet’s specific nutritional makeup of pollen

by providing examples to clarify the types of plants that bees can use for food

Explanation:

To determine how the author illustrates that bees require specific diets, we analyze each option:

• The first option about bees being nourished by apiaries does not relate to showing specific diets.
• The second option compares to human diet health consequences, which is not directly about bees' specific diets.
• The third option presents facts/statistics about pollen's nutritional makeup, but this is more about pollen than how the author illustrates bees' need for specific diets.
• The fourth option, providing examples of plant types bees can use for food, directly shows the specific plants (and thus diets) bees need, as examples of food sources clarify their specific dietary requirements.

Answer:

by providing examples to clarify the types of plants that bees can use for food
