Question

[109]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "Bees do not merely collect honey. As they move from flower to flower, pollen sticks to their bodies and is carried to the next flower, allowing plants to set seed.

Yet bee numbers are falling where flowers disappear, pesticides are sprayed carelessly, and hives are moved too often. Protecting bees is therefore not kindness to one insect. It is protection of the food system that depends on pollination." The phrase 'unpaid work' refers to —

1.
Spraying pesticides
2.
Pollination done by bees without human payment
3.
Honey production for sale
