Hello! Today, we’re going to learn about one of the most amazing animals: the bee. Are you ready to discover some incredible facts about bees? Let’s get started!
Bees are special insects that don’t have bones inside their bodies. They belong to a group called arthropods and love to eat things like pollen, nectar from flowers, and honey, which they make themselves. You can find bees almost everywhere in the world, but they especially like living in forests, orchards, and gardens. Bees can be tiny or a bit bigger, measuring between 0.08 and 1.6 inches.
Did you know there are over 20,000 different kinds of bees? Bees live together in groups called hives, and they are very social. Inside a hive, there are three main types of bees: the queen bee, worker bees, and drone bees. The queen bee is the biggest and lays all the eggs. Worker bees are smaller and have lots of jobs to do. Drone bees are males, and their main job is to help the queen bee make more bees.
Worker bees are always busy! They build and take care of the honeycomb, store food, look after baby bees, and protect the hive from other insects. They work really hard!
Have you ever seen a yellow structure that looks like this? It’s called a honeycomb. It’s made of tiny wax cells where bees raise their young and make honey.
Have you ever wondered how honey is made? First, bees collect pollen and nectar from flowers. When they come back to the hive, they share it with other bees, who chew it until it turns into honey. This honey is stored in the honeycomb cells. To make it thicker, bees fan it with their wings to dry it out.
Bees make honey because they eat it, just like we do! It’s their food.
Do you know how many eyes bees have? Not two, not three, not four, but five! These eyes help them see in the dark hive. Bees also have a fantastic sense of smell and can detect scents from far away.
Bees are very important because they help plants grow. As they fly from flower to flower to find food, they carry pollen that helps flowers reproduce. This process is called pollination.
Besides bees, pollination can also happen with the help of wind or water. That’s why bees are considered one of the most important species on Earth.
Wow! You’ve learned so many interesting things about bees. The next time you see a bee, you’ll know just how special it is. See you next time!

Bee Observation Journal: Go outside with a notebook and pencil. Find a safe spot where you might see bees, like a garden or park. Watch the bees and write down what you see. How many bees do you see? What are they doing? Are they visiting flowers? Draw a picture of a bee and the flowers you see. This will help you understand how bees collect nectar and pollen.
Build a Honeycomb: Use hexagon-shaped paper cutouts or building blocks to create your own honeycomb structure. Try to make it as big as you can! Think about why bees use hexagons. Discuss with a friend or family member why this shape might be useful for bees when storing honey and raising their young.
Pollination Role-Play: Pretend to be a bee! Use a small brush or cotton swab to collect “pollen” (you can use colored powder or small pieces of paper) from one flower and transfer it to another. Notice how the pollen sticks to the brush. Talk about how this helps flowers grow and why bees are important for plants and our food.

Hello! Today, I want to talk to you about one of the most fascinating animals: the bee. Would you like to learn some incredible facts about bees? Let’s go!
The bee is an invertebrate animal, meaning it has no internal skeleton. It belongs to the arthropod insect group and is herbivorous, with its main foods being pollen, nectar from flowers, and honey produced by the bees themselves. Bees can be found in nearly every part of the world, although they tend to live in forests, orchards, and gardens. These small insects measure between 0.08 and 1.6 inches.
Did you know that there are more than 20,000 different species of bees? Bees live in communities known as hives, and they are very social animals. A beehive is divided into three groups or castes: the queen bee, the worker bees, and the drone bees. The queen bee is the largest and most fertile female, meaning she is the only bee that lays eggs. Worker bees are smaller, infertile, and have various functions within the community. Drones are male bees, and their main role is to fertilize the queen.
Worker bees are very busy and have many tasks within the hive. They build and maintain the honeycomb, store food in different cells, care for the hatchlings, and protect their community from other bees or wasps. It sounds exhausting!
Have you ever seen a yellow structure like this? It’s called a honeycomb. It’s made from small wax cells where bees raise their larvae and produce honey.
Have you ever wondered how honey is made? First, bees collect pollen and nectar from flowers. When they return to the hive, they share it with other bees, which chew the pollen until it loses its moisture and turns into honey. This honey is then stored in the honeycomb cells. Since it’s still a bit wet, the bees fan it out with their wings to dry it, making the honey stickier.
You may wonder why they make honey. Well, they eat it, just like us! Do you know how many eyes bees have? Not two, not three, not four, but five! Since beehives are usually very dark, the different types of eyes are very useful. Bees also have a great sense of smell and can detect odors from miles away.
Bees are a protected species because their activity is essential for plant reproduction on our planet. As they move from flower to flower in search of food, they also transport and carry pollen that flowers need to reproduce. This important process is called pollination.
In addition to bees, pollination can also occur thanks to wind or water. This is why bees have been named one of the most important species on the planet.
Wow! You’ve already learned a lot of interesting things about bees. I’m sure that the next time you see a bee, you won’t look at it the same way. See you next time!
