Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The rapid shift to remote work, accelerated by global events, has permanently altered the modern workplace. Employees report greater flexibility and the elimination of long commutes, which many say has improved their work-life balance. Employers, in turn, have discovered that productivity does not necessarily fall when staff work from home; in several studies it actually rose. Yet the transition is not without costs. Workers describe a blurring of the boundary between professional and personal life, with many finding it harder to “switch off” at the end of the day. Managers worry about weakened team cohesion and the loss of the spontaneous collaboration that physical offices once provided. Companies are now experimenting with hybrid models that combine office and home work, hoping to capture the benefits of both. Whether these arrangements endure will depend less on technology, which already exists, than on whether organisations can rebuild culture and trust at a distance.
According to the passage, employees report that remote work has:

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Honeybees are among the most important pollinators in the world, responsible for the reproduction of a large share of the crops that humans depend on for food. As they move from flower to flower collecting nectar, they transfer pollen, enabling plants to produce fruits and seeds. In recent decades, however, beekeepers across many countries have reported alarming declines in their colonies, a phenomenon sometimes called colony collapse disorder. Scientists have struggled to identify a single cause; instead, the evidence points to a combination of factors, including the widespread use of certain pesticides, the spread of parasitic mites, the loss of wildflower habitat, and the stresses of industrial beekeeping. Because so many crops rely on bee pollination, these declines pose a serious threat to global food security. Researchers and policymakers are now urging measures such as restricting harmful pesticides, planting pollinator-friendly flowers, and supporting more sustainable beekeeping practices to reverse the trend.
According to the passage, honeybees help plants by:
