Bees are always busy.They never stop working. They work all day every day, and they never sleep. 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. A worker often visits 1000 flowers every day. The worker bees collect nectar from flowers. The bees use the nectar to make honey, the food for the hive. To make one pound of honey, the bees in the colony need to visit 2 million flowers. At the flower, the bee sucks out sweet nectar into her stomach. Then the bee changes the nectar into honey using chemicals in her body. When we want to say that someone is extra sweet or nice, we use the expression "as sweet as honey.
