Bees are a common feature of gardens and woodlands all over the world but during the last decade their numbers have dropped so much that scientists are worried. It is difficult to count numbers but if bees do not pollinate our plants, it is likely that our crops and food supply will be in danger and we will be unable to ourselves.Three new reports suggest that the cause may be certain chemicals which farmers use on their crops. When pollen is from a plant by a bee, the chemical goes with it. This causes the bee to become confused and to find its way home. Because honey bees live within social structures, they cannot survive on their own and soon die. Scientists believe there may be other causes that can affect bee numbers, such as a decrease in woodland. As a result, next month our university department is starting a research project into the effects of building on green land. A report about the we make will be available next year.

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: accurately
Explanation: The adverb 'accurately' modifies the verb 'count,' indicating the precision of the counting process. It fits grammatically as it describes how the counting should be done, aligning with the context of discussing the difficulty in quantifying bee populations.
