Signal words for problem and solution texts include problem, because, in order to, one reason for, a solution, since, may be due to, therefore, as a result and solve.  \nCircle the text's signal words, underline the problem(s), and put a squiggly line under the solution(s).  \nHave you ever watched a bee fly from flower to flower? Bees may seem small (and you may even be a little scared of them!), but they play an important role in nature. As they move between plants to sip nectar, they carry pollen from flower to flower. This process, called pollination, is needed for flowers, fruits and vegetables to grow! Unfortunately, scientists have seen that bee populations are shrinking in many places around the world. This problem means that plants may not grow as well, which can affect the food that people eat!  \nThere are several reasons why bees are disappearing. In some areas, bees are losing their habitats. Cities, for example, may not have enough flowers for them to visit. In other places such as farms, chemicals that are used to protect crops can harm the bees. Bees are also catching diseases that kill them.  \nAt first, people tried some easy solutions in order to solve this problem. For example, farmers tried moving beehives to different places so bees would follow them and find more flowers along the way. This helped a little bit, but it didn’t solve the bigger problem. Other people tried to plant more flowers in their yards, but small numbers of new flowers were unfortunately not enough to really help the problem.  \nOne effective solution is creating pollinator gardens. Pollinator gardens are large gardens that include a variety of different plants that bloom at different times throughout the growing season. They provide shelter, nesting sites and water sources to help bees survive. At the same time, they also provide a steady source of nectar and pollen. Many communities are now planting pollinator gardens to help bees!  \nUse your annotations to answer the questions below.  \n1.
