Honeybees are important insects and our 2
lives would be very different without them.

Honeybees live in a beehive. There is one queen

bee. She is the biggest bee, and she lays all the 5
eggs. She lays about 2,000 eggs every day. A 4
queen bee lives for about five years.

beehive – a structure made for bees to live in;

lay – if a bird, an insect, a fish, etc. lays eggs, it

In the beehive, there are about 50,000 worker
bees. Worker bees only live for about 40 days.

Worker bees do many different jobs. They keep queen bee
the beehive clean and build the honeycomb.
Worker bees fly from the beehive and collect
nectar. Nectar is a sweet and sticky liquid in
5
flowers. The nectar is the bees’ food. They bring 4
the nectar back to the hive and put it in the
honeycomb. After that, they move their wings
very fast to make the nectar cool. Then it turns
into honey in the honeycomb. sticky liquid – 粘液

When bees find nectar, they go back to the 2

queen bee
beehive and do a special dance. It’s called a
waggle dance. The dance tells the other bees
how much nectar there is, where the nectar 5
is and how far away it is. 4

When bees leave the beehive to collect nectar,
they visit between 50 and 100 flowers. The 2

pollen in the flowers sticks to the bees. The bees
take the pollen to other flowers. This is called
pollination. Pollination helps flowers make seeds.
