Bees are truly fascinating insects that we often see flying around gardens or woods. They move from one flower to another and might even come inside our homes. They make the skies of gardens or forests more beautiful.
What does a bee look like? A bee has six legs and two sets of wings on each side of its body. Its body is divided into three parts: the head, thorax (胸部), and abdomen (腹部). Bees have two feelers on their heads called antennaeand two large eyes on each side. They come in different colors and shapes.
Then, are all bees the same? No, they come in different colors and shapes, and there are many different kinds of bees. In Ireland, there are 101 different kinds of bees. However, only honey bees make honey that we eat, while other bees don't make honey at all. There is only one kind of honey bee that lives in Ireland. The places that honey bees live in are also different, including hives (蜂箱), holes and even nests made from leaves.
What does a bee eat? Bees feed themselves with nectar and pollen (花粉), which they collect from flowers. Nectar, a sweet liquid (液体)found in flowers, serves as the primary energy source for bees. Honey bees use it to make honey. Meanwhile, yellow pollen sticks to the bees' hairy legs as they gather food.
Why are bees important? While we enjoy honey as a sweet treat and beeswax (蜂蜡)for candlemaking, bees play a far more important role in our life. Besides, bees are very important to nature because they bring pollen from one plant to another on their hairy legs. Without the hardworking bees, the growth of fruits and crops would be seriously influenced, highlighting their special role in protecting our environment and farming.
a. the food of bees b.the enemies of bees c. the appearance of bees
d. the importance of bees e. the types of bees
