Bees and Flowers

As Bee’s fly to different flowers, children learn about the different attributes of each flower. At the end of the book there are some great exercises and suggested activities for flower recognition.
They live and work in communities. Bees are skilled builders and model housekeepers. Bees are social insects living in hives with many cells or little rooms for different uses. There are many kinds of jobs done in the colony; the females are the workers and they are also the builders, nurses, food gatherers, and maids. The workers also make wax for the cells, clean the cells, make the food, and even keep the hive cool by making wind with their wings. Young female bees are house bees and later they become field bees who look for flowers and bring back nectar to the hive.
