Explanation
A bee is a small flying insect that collects nectar from flowers and makes honey. Bees are important for nature because they help plants grow by carrying pollen (a fine powder from flowers that helps plants reproduce) from one flower to another. They live in groups called “hives” and work together to gather food and protect their home. While bees can sting if they feel threatened, they usually focus on their work and avoid harming people.
