From Flower to Jar

A honeybee visits about a hundred flowers on one trip. She sucks up nectar and stores it in a special stomach. Back at the hive, she passes the nectar to another bee. That bee chews it for about half an hour. Then it goes into a wax cell. The bees fan the cell with their wings. The water dries out and the nectar thickens into honey. Then the cell is sealed with wax.

  1. 1. Where does the bee store the nectar on the way home?
  2. 2. What do the bees use to seal the cell?
  3. 3. Put these in order: the cell is sealed, the bee sucks up nectar, the nectar is chewed.
  4. 4. About how many flowers does a bee visit on one trip?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.

How Seeds Travel

A seed cannot grow in its parent's shadow. There is not enough light. So seeds have to move away. Some seeds have wings. A sycamore seed spins like a tiny helicopter and lands far from the tree. Some seeds hook onto fur. A burr catches on a passing fox and drops off somewhere new. Some seeds sit inside fruit. A bird eats the fruit and the seed comes out later, miles away.

  1. 1. How does a burr travel?
  2. 2. What happens after a bird eats a fruit with a seed inside?
  3. 3. What does a sycamore seed do as it falls?
  4. 4. Why can a seed not grow in its parent's shadow?
