Bees and Honey

Bees are small insects. They have yellow and black stripes. Bees live together in a group called a hive. There can be 50,000 bees in one hive! Bees visit flowers every day. They collect a sweet liquid called nectar. They carry it back to the hive. Inside the hive, bees make honey from the nectar. Honey is very sweet and delicious. People eat honey on bread and in tea. Honey is also good for your health. It can help a sore throat feel better. Bees are very important for nature. They help flowers grow by moving pollen from flower to flower. Without bees, many plants cannot make seeds. We need bees to have food on our table.
