Bee
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Bees are flying insects. There are about 20,000 species of bees. Bees collect pollen from flowers. Bees can be found on almost all continents.
Some species of bees, the Honeybees (Apis), are also kept by humans for honey, which is called beekeeping.
Like other insects, its body can be divided into three parts: the head, thorax and abdomen. A bee also has three pairs of legs, two pairs of wings, a pair of antennae and a pair of compound eyes.
Bees also have stingers (pointy things, like a needle) on the back end of their bodies. If they get angry or scared, they can sting, which hurts. Usually, once they have stung, they die after a short while, unlike wasps. Some people are allergic to bee stings. This means they can get very sick if a bee stings them. There are three types of bees in a honey bee colony. They are the queen bee (lays the eggs), drone bees ( mates with the queen bee ), and worker bee (collects pollen from flowers.) The queen bee and the worker bees are females. The drone bees are males. The queen bee is a worker bee, but if the worker bee chooses the right cell in the hive, she will become queen.
