Bees
Bees scientific name is Apis mellifera.
HabitatWarm countries are good for bees because they're not too hot and they're not too cold. Sunny meadows are good for growing flowers. Bees live in flowery places to collect nectar. Bees have to live in a hive to survive. Bees store honey and larva in hexagonal cells.
DescriptionBees are only 80 millimeters long. Bees have six legs. Their legs grow from their thorax. Bees antennae help them hear and smell. The tongue is called a proboscis. If you look up close you'll see that there are veins in the wing. The abdomen contains the sting and is sort of like a tail. Bees eyes are compound, this means they can see in any direction. They have stripes to warn others of their sting.
Dynamics
A bee can only fly 5km from the hive and they don't like to fly in the rain. Bees do the waggle dance to communicate where the nectar is. Worker bees collect nectar and make it into honey which they put in their hexagonal cells. Workers look after larva until their metamorphosis. The queen bee lays the eggs and keeps the hive going.
Flowers
Bees depend on flowers for honey. Flowers sometimes depend in bees to pollinate them. Flowers are essential for bees.
Importance
Bees have lives like you. They make life possible by pollinating flowers and trees.
