Look at that bee on the flower. See how it flies and works with its little feet. Ah! it is off to another flower. It is working again. Now it is off to another! How busy it is! It does not stay for a minute in one place. It seems to have a lot of work to do.

Now let us go to the other end of the garden. Do you see those little straw(稻草) houses? They have no windows and only a very small door. They are the houses in which the bees live and are called hives. Many bees live in each hive. See how many are going in!

When spring comes, and the flowers begin to bloom(开放), the bees come out of the hives very early in the morning. They fly away and gather the sweet juice out of the flowers.

The bee has a long tongue(舌), which it thrusts(插) into the flower, to suck up the juice. Then it carries the juice to the hive and makes it into honey.
