Bee (蜜蜂)
Bee are insects (昆虫). They live all over the world except where it is very cold. Bees do not like ice and snow. They are the only insects that make food that you and I can eat. We eat their honey (蜜) and also use their wax (蜡) for things.
Bees live in a hive (蜂房). They live in hundreds of little rooms made of wax. It is in these rooms that the queen bee lays her eggs. As each egg hatches (孵) out it becomes a larva (幼虫). This larva lives in a room and is fed by other bees. Every bee does a job without being told. Some make wax, others fan (扇) the hive to keep it cool. Then there are the bees that fetch nectar (花蜜) from the flowers. The nectar is turned into honey inside the bee that puts it into room as food for the larva or gives it to another bee. The queen bee is larger than the other bees. There is only one queen in a hive. If other queens are born, they are killed. While she keeps laying eggs, she is looked after by the worker bees.
All bees can fetch nectar from the flowers.
