All About Honeybees

Heading: A Busy Hive. A honeybee hive can hold more than twenty thousand bees. Each bee has an important job. Worker bees collect food, clean the hive and care for the young bees. The queen lays all of the eggs.

Heading: Making Honey. Worker bees drink sweet nectar from flowers. They carry it back to the hive and pass it from bee to bee. Slowly, the nectar turns into thick honey. The bees store the honey in wax cells shaped like hexagons.

Fact box: A single worker bee makes about one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in her whole life.

Caption: A worker bee gathers nectar from a purple flower.
