The following text is for questions 17 to 20. Bees play an important role in pollinating flowering plants and are the major type of pollinator in ecosystems that contain flowering plants. Bees either focus on gathering nectar or on gathering pollen depending on demand, especially in social species. Bees gathering nectar may accomplished by bees, especially the domesticated European honey bee. Most bees are fuzzy and carry an electrostatic charge, which aids in the 6 | Bonus Soal Tryout UN SMPMTs 2014 process of collecting pollen. Female bees periodically stop foraging and groom themselves to pack the pollen into the scopa, which is in the legs in most bees, and on the ventral abdomen on others, and modified into specialized pollen baskets on the legs of honey bees and their relatives. Many bees are opportunistic foragers and will gather pollen from a variety of plants, while others are oligolectic, gathering pollen from only one or a few types of plant. A small number of plants produce nutritious floral oils rather than pollen, which are gathered and used by oligolectic bees. One small subgroup of stingless bees, called „vulture bees‟, is specialized to feed on carrion, and these are the only bees that do not use plant products as food.
