in pollination and producing honey and beeswax. (b)
There are nearly 20000 species bees. (c)
They are on every continent except Antarctica. (d)
Answers
a). are - Bees are flying
b). and - ants, known for their role
c). of - 20000 species of bees
d). found - They are found on every continent
Explanation:
- Errors or omissions are characterized as the grammatical mistakes that either due to carelessness or deliberately made by the author to make the text precise.
- These mistakes may include errors of the preposition, articles, verb, punctuation, etc.
- In the given paragraph, the first sentence contains the omission of auxiliary verb.
- The sentence incorrectly employs the conjunction 'and' which needs to be removed.
- The third sentence misses the preposition 'of' while the last sentence omits the main verb 'found.'
- Thus, after these rectifications sentences read as:
Bees are flying insects closely related to
wasps and ants, and known for their role
in pollination and producing honey and beeswax.
There are nearly 20000 species of bees.
They are found on every continent except Antarctica.

Explanation:
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the European honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea and are presently considered a clade, called Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven recognized biological families. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Some species including honey bees, bumblebees, and stingless bees live socially in colonies. Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae. Bee pollination is important both ecologically and commercially; the decline in wild bees has increased the value of pollination by commercially managed hives of honey bees.
Bees range in size from tiny stingless bee species whose workers are less than 2 millimetres (0.08 in) long, to Megachile pluto, the largest species of leafcutter bee, whose females can attain a length of 39 millimetres (1.54 in). The most common bees in the Northern Hemisphere are the Halictidae, or sweat bees, but they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies. Vertebrate predators of bees include birds such as bee-eaters; insect predators include beewolves and dragonflies.
Human beekeeping or apiculture has been practised for millennia, since at least the times of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. Apart from honey and pollination, honey bees produce beeswax, royal jelly and propolis. Bees have appeared in mythology and folklore, through all phases of art and literature, from ancient times to the present day, though primarily focused in the Northern Hemisphere, where beekeeping is far more common.
