Bees

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, tens of thousands of worker bees, and a few hundred males, or
drones. Honeybees live in hives. Inside their hive, the bees make 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. Worm, like larvae, 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 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 hive. 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 s 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.

“Mengapa Tuhan tidak memberitahu mu, mengapa segala sesuatu terjadi dalam
hidup mu?”

Tuhan tidak akan memberikan satupun penjelasan.

"Jangan berisik! Ambil pena mu dan kerjakan ujianmu. Bahkan guru juga akan
diam disaat kamu ujian”
