Candle-Making Animal Exploration
Field note: Inside the hive
A honeybee colony lives together in a hive. Worker bees visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen. They also build honeycomb from wax made by special glands on their bodies. The queen lays eggs, while worker bees care for the young, guard the hive and help keep its temperature steady. A bee develops through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. As bees visit flowers, pollen sticks to their bodies and is carried to other flowers. This pollination helps many plants make seeds and fruit.
