🐝 Busy Honeybees

Honeybees live together in a home called a hive.

Worker bees fly from flower to flower to collect nectar and pollen.

They turn the nectar into honey to eat in winter.

Bees do a special "waggle dance" to show other bees where the flowers are.

When bees carry pollen from flower to flower, they help plants make seeds.

Listen carefully, then answer.

2.What do bees make from nectar?

3.How do bees tell others where flowers are?

One new fact I learned:

Answer key: 1) in a hive · 2) honey · 3) a waggle dance
