Honey bees are social insect that make honey. They live in hives or nests made of wax. Honey bees are the
best-known kind of bee. Beekeepers raise honey bees for honey and for Pollinating farm crops.
Three types of honey-making bees live in each hive-queen, workers, and drones. Each type of bee has special
job.
The queen is female that lays all the eggs. There is only one queen for each hive.
Worker bees are female that do not lay eggs. Each nest has thousands of worker bees. Workers build the nest
from wax they make in their bodies. The nest has many cells with six side. The cells are glued together to
make a comb. The queen lays eggs in some cells. Worker fill other combs with honey.
Workers collect nectar and pollen, make honey, and make a food called royal jelly to feed the larvae. Workers
guard the hive. They sting anything that threatens the hive. A worker bee can only sting once.it leaves the
stinger in its victim. Then the bee dies.
Drones are male bees. Drones cannot collect nectar and pollen. Drones don‟t have stings. The only job of a
drone is to mate with a queen.
The queen decides which eggs will become queens, workers, or drones. Only eggs fertilize with sperm
become females. A few fertilized eggs are put in special cells and fed lots of royal jelly. These eggs become
the queens.
When a honey bee finds food, it tell other honey bees. The bees come back to the hive with nectar. It then
performs a dance. The bee‟s movements tell the other bees to look for this nectar.

Someone that I admire most is my mother. She is my idol. In my opinion, my mother is not only beautiful
but also kind. In addition, she is a good housewife.
Her beauty comes from her good looking physical appearance. She is average in height. Her straight, black
hair is shiny. Furthermore, the color of her eyes is like honey. And her light brown skin is still very supple.
She looks attractive in whatever clothes she wears.
Besides her attractive appearance, my mother is very kind. She likes to help
people. For example, whenever there are sick people in our neighborhood, she will give them a visit. She
often gives food and drink to the unfortunate people. She pays the school fee of some orphans in the
surroundings. And something that impresses me more is she doesn‟t like other people to know whenever
she does good deed.
In addition, my mother is a good housewife. She takes care of her family well. For instance, she prepares all
