READING COMPREHENSION

THE BEE

Bees live in a house that is called a hive. There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones, and queens.
Only one Queen Bee can live in each hive. If she is lost or dead, the other bees will stop their work.

Bees are very wise and busy little creatures. They all join together to build cells of wax for their honey.
Each bee takes its proper place and does its own work. Some go out and gather honey from the flowers;
others stay at home and work inside the hive.

The cells which they build are all of one shape and size. The cells are not round. They have six sides.

Did you ever look into a glass hive to see the bees while at work? It is pleasant to see how busy they
always are. It is not safe for children to handle bees. Bees have a painful sting that they use in their
defense.
