Read the following passage excerpt and answer the question: "The bees arrived in the orchard before the blossoms fully opened, as they always did — drawn by something the farmers could not see or smell, some signal older than memory. Within three days the trees had gone from bare branches to a haze of white petals. The farmers watched and said nothing. They had learned, after years of failed harvests, that the bees knew something they did not." Which statement best describes the central idea of this passage?
