Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do.  Honeybees protect the hive and clean it almost every day.  Honeybees build cells for the nectar, honey, and pollen.  Do you know that if you see a bee doing a dance, it's telling the other bees that there's flowers?  Honeybees feed the queen bee and also tend her.  Bees put waxy covers on the grubs when they're nice days old.  They also feed the grubs honey.  When bees go to flowers they collect pollen and nectar.  When bees collect pollen and nectar they take it from flower-to-flower. They also change nectar into honey.  I think bees are special because they give us honey, flowers, and wax.  What do you call a bee that studies hard?  (Answer: spelling bee)

By Robert

Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do.  The bees need to build and clean the hive.  The bees protect the hive so other predators or people do not attack.  The bees build hive cells and they have a honeycomb filled with grubs, honey and nectar.  Bees will dance to show where flowers are.  The bee worker feeds the queen because she has to lay her eggs.  The bees put wax on the grubs so they have a cover. The bees clean their hive to keep it clean.  The bees feed grubs so they don't go hungry.  They collect pollen and nectar to make honey.  The bees collect pollen by going flower to flower.  The bees change the nectar into honey.  I like bees because they can fly.

  Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do. They need to build and clean the hive.  They dance to tell where the flowers are. The worker bees are female.  They feed the baby and queen bees.  They have to build the cells, get pollen, and nectar to make honey. To make the honey, they put the nectar in the cell.  One of the other jobs is to protect the hive.

By Cassidy

  Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do. They need to build and clean the hive almost every day. They guard and protect the hive.  The honeybees change nectar into honey.  They make and put wax on the grub cells. They feed the grubs and the queen bee.  When one of he honeybees find flowers they will go to their hive and communicate by dancing a dance.  They will build the hive cells.  The honeybee will collect nectar and pollen from flowers. When they collect pollen they bring it to flower to flower. I like bees because they give us yummy honey.

By Garrett

  Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do.  Whenever a bee sees a whole lane of flowers, they communicate just like saying, hey over here there's tons of flowers.  The worker feeds the grubs and the queen.  Because jof that, the queen lays 1000 eggs a day.  When the grubs are nice days old, the workers put waxy covers on the grub cells. In 12 days the grubs turn into bees and wait for their new wings to dry.  Then, the younger bees grow up.

By Sierra

   Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do.  They need to build and clean the hive.  They make waxy covers when the gee grub is nine days old.  The queen bee and the grubs are fed by the worker bees.  A worker bee dances to tell where the flowers are.  Bees carry pollen on their back legs from flower to flower. They protect the hive.  Bees change nectar into honey by stirring it with their long, narrow tongue.

By Caroline

   Honeybees are busy because they have lots of work to do.  They need to build and clean the hive.  Honeybees build hive cells. When they collect pollen and nectar honeybees take it from flower to flower.  After they finished, they go back to the hive. They change nectar into honey. Honeybees dance to tell other bees where to find flowers. Worker bees feed the queen.  The worker bees feed the grubs. They make and put wax on grub cells.  Worker bees also protect the hive.

   A honeybees' body is a tool to help it work.  A honeybee has three body parts, the head, thorax, and abdomen.  A honeybee has six legs.  The front legs clean him.  The back legs have a pollen basket.  A honeybee has hair but don't be tricked because it has an exoskeleton under the hair.  Some honeybees have hair on their eyes.  They have compound eyes.  It has three eyes between the two compound eyes.  The three eyes are called simple eyes.  The two compound eyes are made up of 6000 tiny eyes.  It looks like a puzzle.  The queen bee never loses her stinger because she lays eggs.  Honeybees have four wings, two pairs on each side. Honeybees have wings on their thorax.  They have two antennas to feel, smell, and communicate.  The female bees make wax in their abdomen.  I think bees are cool because they can communicate.

By Neil

  The honeybee's body is a tool to help them work. The workers and the queen bee have stingers to protect themselves.  The stinger is on the abdomen.  The front legs clean the body and the back legs carry all of the pollen.  There are three pairs of legs on each side of its body.  That makes six legs.  Bees are insects and they have three body parts. They are called the head, thorax, and abdomen.  The thorax is also called a chest and the abdomen is also called the back.  They have an exoskeleton and no bones.  Female bees make wax from their abdomen.  They have two antennas to feel, smell, and communicate.  The proboscis sucks the nectar from flowers.  Bees have two pairs of wings.  That makes four wings. The wings are on the thorax.  They have two compound eyes to see in all directions.

  A honeybee's body is a tool to help them work.  A bee is an insect.  It has six legs. It also has three body parts. They are the head, thorax, and abdomen.  When a bee sings someone, it loses its stinger. The queen bee does not lose her stinger.  Bees are not soft and fuzzy because they have an exoskeleton. Bees doe not have a backbone.  They use their two back legs to carry pollen to the hive.  They use their legs to clean the hive, too.  The worker bees and the queen bee have stingers to protect themselves from danger.  The queen never loses her stinger.  Bees have compound eyes so they can see in many directions. The proboscis sucks the nectar from the flower.  Bees have two antennas to feel, smell, and to communicate.  Some bees have hair on their eyes.  The female bees make wax from their abdomen.  Bees are attracted to yellow, blue and purple.

By Ingrid

  The honeybee's body is a tool to help them work.  They have 6 legs because they are insects. They have three body parts.  They are called the head, thorax, and abdomen.  The queen bee never loses her stinger.  Worker bees and the queen bee sting to protect themselves. Female bees make wax from their abdomen.  They have two antennas to help them smell, feel, and communicate.

By Lily

 The honeybee's body is a tool to help them work.  Honeybees are insects. They have three body parts called:  head, thorax, and abdomen.  Honeybees have 6 legs.  There are three on each side of their body.  The queen bee and the worker bees have a stinger to protect themselves.  Their stinger is on the abdomen. The bee's front legs clean the bee's body. The bee's back legs have sacks to carry pollen.  The queen bee never loses her stinger because she need to lay eggs.  There is hair on  the bee's exoskeleton and the bee's eyes have hair too.  The bee has two compound eyes and three eyes in the middle of their two other eyes.  Bees have four wings.  Their wings are on their thorax.  Bees have a tube tongue called a proboscis.  It sucks nectar. Bees have two antennas to feel, smell, and communicate.  Female bees make wax from their abdomen.  Bees have a hard shell called an exoskeleton.  It is a hard shell on the outside of their body not the inside.  They don't have bones.

By Garrett

   The honeybee's body is a tool to help them work.  A honeybee is an insect and has a exoskeleton.  They have a head, thorax and abdomen.  They have 6 legs for a good reason. The first pair is to clean themselves.  The second pair is to collect pollen.  They have compound eyes that are made of 6,000 eyes.  They have three eyes on the front.  Bees have two pairs of wings so that makes four.  They have a proboscis to suck up nectar.  They have one pair of antenna to feel, smell, and communicate. The queen never loses her stinger.  Worker bees make wax and use the stinger to protect themselves.

By Silvestre

   The honeybees body is a tool to help them work.  A bee is an insect because they have 6 legs.  They have ahead, thorax, and abdomen.  They have hair on their exoskeleton that helps them carry pollen.  Bees don't  have bones.  They cannot see red.  They have compound eyes to see in many directions.  The exoskeleton is a hard shell outside. They do not have bones.  They like blue, purple and white.  If I were a bee I would fly with them.

By Robert

  The honeybees body is a tool to help them work.  Honeybees have three body parts called the head, thorax, and abdomen. Honeybees have six legs, three on each side of their body.  The workers and queen bees use their stingers to protect themselves. Honeybees clean with their front legs.  They carry pollen in their back legs. The queen bee never loses her stinger.  Bees can have hair on their eyes.  They have two compound eyes to see in many directions.  Bees have four wings, two pairs on each side.  The bees sucks nectar out of purple, yellow and blue flowers.  Bees have two antennas to feel, smell, and communicate.  Only the female bee makes the wax from her abdomen for the beehive.  I like bees because they can communicate.

By Sierra

 The life cycle of a honeybee has four stages, the egg, larvae, pupa, and adult.  The queen bee lays eggs in the center of the hive cell. The egg is the size of the head of a pin.  They are an egg for three days.  The larva eat a lot.  They are all fed royal jelly at first.  They molt five times in 3 days.  Bees seal the cell with wax.  The bees that tend the eggs are called nurse bees.  Babies spin a cocoon.  A pupa's only job is  metamorphosis.  Bees are pupa for nice days.  When bees are fully grown, they chew their way out of the cell and wax.  When the newborns are born they are soft and squishy.  Their wings are wet and wrinkled.  Ti takes about a day for their wings to dry.  After one day, they can fly. After bees are born, they have to clean the cell that they were born in.  What comes in the third life cycle stage?  The adult, egg, larva, or pupa? (Answer: pupa)

By Schuyler

   The live cycle of a honeybee has four stages, the egg, larvae, pupa, and adult.  The queen lays the eggs in the center of the hive to protect them.  The eggs are the size of the head of a pin.  They are eggs for three days.  Next, they are larvae.  The queen larvae eats a lot of royal jelly.  They shed or molt five times in their cell.  The nurse bees take care of them.  They make a cocoon inside of heir cell. They use the wax seal in the cell.  Next is the pups.  They have metamorphosis.  It is nine days and they turn into the adult.  They chew through the wax to get out.  They are soft and squishy.  Their wings are wrinkled and wet.  The worker bees clean the cell after they are born.  Just one more day until they can fly.

By Daniel R.

  The four stages of the honey bee are the egg, larvae, pupa and adult. The queen bee lays eggs in the center of the cells in the hive. The egg is the same size as a pin's top. It is an egg for three days.  The quean larvae eat more royal jelly and honey than the other bees.  Larvae shed five times.  It is a larva for three days.  A nurse bee will take care of the baby cells.  The larva spin a cocoon.  The pupa changes and this is called metamorphosis.  It is a pupa for 9 days.  When a baby bee is an adult, it chews through the hard wax.  They are soft and squishy.  Its wings are wrinkled and wet. Then it goes out of the hive.  Question:  Why is a larva squishy?

By Caroline

  The life cycle of a honeybee has four stages.  They are called the egg, larvae, pupa, and adult. The queen lays her eggs in the center of the hive cells.  The eggs are the same size of the head ofa pin.  After three days, the egg will be a larva inside.  The queen gets the most royal jelly and honey.  The grubs eat lots of food.  They will molt five times. For three days the grubs are larvae. The worker bees put wax over the cell so the larvae can make a cocoon. When they change, it is called metamorphosis.  In nine days they will turn into an adult.  They will chew through the wax to get out.  When they come out they will be soft and squishy.  Then their wings will be wet and wrinkled.  They will clean the cell for the next baby.  The next day they will be able to fly. Question:  What do you call a bee that makes wax?

By Kelly

The life cycle of a honeybee has four stages.  The queen bee lays  three thousand eggs.

By Daniel E.

  The life cycle of a honeybee has four stages, egg, larva, pupa, and then adult.  The queen lays about3,000 eggs a day in the middle of the hive.  The queen lays one egg in each cell.  The size oft he egg is the size of a head of a pin.  After three days, the egg turns into larvae.  The queen larvae gets the most food.  The food that the workers give to the larvae are honey and royal jelly. The larvae eat a lot.  The larvae she five times.  In three days the nurse bees cover a cell with wax.  The larvae turn into cocoons.  The cocoons turn into pupa.  In nine days they become adults.  The adult bee chews through the wax.  First they are soft and squishy.  Their wings are wrinkled and wet.  Then, they have to clean their hive cell.  I like bees because they make honey.  Question:  What do you call a pupa and larva together?  (larpae)

By Neil

   The life cycle of a honey bee has four stages and they are the egg, larvae, pupa, and then adult.  The queen lays the eggs in the middle oft he hive.  The egg is he size of a head of a pin.  It's an egg for three days.  Every larvae is fed royal jelly but the queen gets the most.  The larvae eat a lot so they can get bigger.  The larvae shed five times and that is called molting. They are larvae for three days.  Metamorphosis is how you change in days. For nine days he is a pupa.  The adult chews through the wax to get out. When they get out they are soft and squishy and their wings are wrinkled and wet.  After that they have to clean out the cell so different eggs can to in.  In one day, they can fly.

By Marissa

  The life cycle of a honeybee has four stages, the egg, larvae, pupa, and adult. The queen bee lays her eggs in a different cell of the hive.  The egg is the size of the head of a pin.  The egg is an egg for three days.  Then, it changes into  larvae.  The queen larvae get the most royal jelly. The larvae's only job is to eat lots. They molt five times. They are larvae for three days. Worker bees make and put wax on the larvae.  After all that, the larvae change into pupa for 9 days. Then they change into an adult.  The adult chews through he wax. Their wings are wrinkled and wet. When they crawl out of the cell they have to clean it so the queen can lay other eggs in the cell.  After one day they can fly.

By Madeline

   The lifecycle of a honeybee has four stages.  First, they queen bee lays eggs in the cell in the middle of the hive.  In three days, the egg hatches into larvae.  The worker bees feed the larvae royal jelly.  Then, in they feed it honey.  When they are changing, it is called metamorphosis.  In nine days the bee grows into an adult.  When they come out of the cell they are soft and squishy.  Their wings are wet so they have to stay in the hive to let them dry so they can go outside and fly. Then they have to clean the cell so other eggs can be there.  What do you like about bees?
