All about Bees



Bee Report

Classification
Bees are part of the Apidae family. The Apidae family is the largest family within the superfamily.

Description
Bees have a stinger at the end of the abdomen. They use the stinger to protect the hive and the Queen bee and her eggs.
The stinger injects a special venom into the attacker, creating great pain and, after a while, swelling. A few moments later the Bee will soon die because all its organs have been pulled out. 
They have black and yellow stripes going across their backs. It is there to warn off predators. 

Location 
Bees usually live in hollows in logs, and sometimes in the holes of boulders. Bees live almost everywhere except Antarctica.

Dynamics
Bees can use the stinger at the end of the abdomen to protect themselves. They use the tongue to pick up pollen from the plant and transport it to the next plant to pollinate the plants. Back at the hive, the worker Bees are crawling around the hive’s honeycombs and if there is a larva in the honeycomb, they get some BeesWax that is made from Bee sweat, and seal the honeycomb up and then move to the next honeycomb.
