Honey Bees by Isabelle

Bees take nectar from flowers.  Bees make honey out of nectar.  They live in hives.  The Queen has the job of having the babies so the hive will have enough worker bees.  Bees are very important because they pollinate most of our plants.  Bees have "baskets" on their legs and they can carry honey there.  The female bees who are not the Queen cannot have babies but they are in charge of making the honey.  The worker / field bees bring in the nectar to the female bees.  They heat and cool the hive by flapping their wings to heat the hive and they spit water on the hive to cool it.  They are covered in fur which lets them pollinate all year.
