DAILY TEST KELAS
XI SEMETER GASAL
Bees are useful
insects. There are about 20,000 kinds of bees, but only honeybees make honey.
Honeybees live in
groups called colonies. Each colony has one female queen bee, teens of
thousands of workers bees, and a few hundred males, or drones. Honeybees live
in their hives; the bees make a honeycomb of wax. The honeycomb is a kind of
bee apartment building, full of six-sided rooms in which the bees raise young
and store food.
The queen bee lays
thousands of eggs. Worms like larva hatch from the eggs. Each larva becomes a
pupa, which looks partly like a larva and partly like an adult bee. The pupa
then becomes an adult bee. Worker bees feed the young, clean and guard the
hive, and fly to and from flowers. They collect tiny grains of pollen and a
sweet liquid called nectar for food. The pollen is food for young bees. Worker
bees use the nectar to make honey. Without the bees bringing pollen from flower
to flower, many plants could not make seeds.
Queen bees and
worker bees have stings. Workers use their stings to defend themselves and
their hives. A queen uses their stings to kill other queens.
Most other kinds of
bees live alone instead of in a colony. These bees make tunnels in wood or in
the ground. The queen makes her own nest.
People admire bees
for their busy ways. People called beekeepers keep bees for honey and for the
beeswax the bees use to build their honeycombs.

Sumatran elephants
