As Busy as a Bee
We use the idiomatic expression “as busy as a bee” for someone who is very busy. Bee are always busy, and they never stop. They work all day every day. Three different types of bees live in the hive. They are the queen, the drones (her husbands), and thousands of worker bees. The worker bees are female. each worker often visits 1,000 flowers each day. The worker bees collect the food for the hive and for the production of honey.
When a worker bee enters the heve, she does a dance. The dance tells the other bees where to find the flowers. At the flower, the bee sucks out sweet nectar into her stomach. The bee changes the nectar into honey using chemicals in her body.
Many of us love to eat the sweet honey on bread. We use it in cookies and in other desserts. When we want to say that something is extra sweet, we use the expression “as sweet as honey”
