[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Bees ultimately contribute to direct ecosystem services by pollinating plant species that produce food for both humans and other animals. This process is essential for the production of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds that make up a significant portion of our diets. Without bees to pollinate these plant species, many crops would not be able to produce the fruits and seeds we rely on for sustenance.
