The Amazing Honeybee

Honeybees are incredible insects that help our world in many ways. These busy workers visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen. When they fly from flower to flower, they help plants make seeds by spreading pollen around. This is called pollination.

Honeybees also make delicious honey in their hives. They store the honey in tiny rooms made of wax called honeycomb. A single bee will only make about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in her whole life! Honeybees work together as a team. Some bees guard the hive, others care for baby bees, and many go out to find flowers.

Without honeybees, we would not have many of the fruits and vegetables we love to eat. Apples, oranges, and strawberries all need bees to help them grow. That's why honeybees are so important to our planet!
