Honey Bee

The honey bee is very important to life on earth. If honey bees were to go extinct we would not have the same food. If we did not have bees we would not have plants that produce food. Also if we did not have produce we would not have some animals. Then people will not have anything to eat and then likely will go extinct. The bees are disappearing now! One reason they might be disappearing is because of all of the chemicals that are in the air. Another reason could be that the climate is not good for them anymore to live in.

Yuca

Yuca is a plant that has sharp leaves. The Indians used the plant to make baskets, shoes and sometimes soup.
