Question

Practice reading the following excerpt for fluency and give a summary of the intended meaning of the paragraph:

Joe Traynor is a California bee broker. From a small office in a quiet side street in downtown Bakersfield, on the southern tip of Central Valley, he runs a lucrative business matching almond growers with beekeepers. I put to him that surely all this moving around of bees, confined to their hives for long periods, must be stressful for them. He admits that too much travel is not good for their health: "When you're trucking bees, they need sleep, just as humans do, and the bumping around in the truck for two to three days keeps them awake, and this lowers their resistance to pests and disease."

Answer 1

Bees need rest just like any other living thing. Without rest bodies are prone to disease and infection which can cause serious illness. The effect would be the bees would be less efficient in doing their pollination.
