Hi. Welcome to my Web page.
It is all about bees.
Here is a poem I made up:
Bumble
Bees
 Bumble
bees come rushing in 
For the pollen on the trees
As they leave they drop a seed
To make a new tree grow.
The new tree grows
The bees come back
To collect more pollen to bring back
To their humble home upon the tree
Where they feed their baby bees.
Facts about Bees
1) Bees
are found all over the world and there are thousands of different kinds.
2) The bees are vegetarians, feeding on the nectar and pollen of flowers,
while most wasps prey on other insects.
3) Bees have six legs. They have three body parts: the head, the thorax and
the abdomen.
4) Bees and honey bees are more active in dull weather, but other
kinds of bees are creatures of sunshine.
5) Bees are never far from flowers. 
6) A bee has a tube-like tongue, sometimes their tongue is as long as their
body.
7) Only the female bee collects pollen.
8) Bees do a lot to fertilize the flowers, plants and trees.
9) The pollen of the male flowers gets brushed off on to the female ones
which will then turn into seeds or fruit and produce new plants, in turn
providing pollen and nectar for later generations of bees.
10) A female bee has what is sometimes called a honey-stomach or crop, where
the nectar she swallows is changed into honey.
11) This honey can be forced from the crop up to the mouth and used, mixed
with pollen, to feed the young.
12) The female bee is the only one that stings.
