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.

- 3. Where does the bee store the nectar on the way home?
Owls
Owls hunt at night. Their eyes are very large, so they can see when there is almost no light. An owl's feathers have soft edges. This makes their wings quiet. A mouse cannot hear an owl coming. Owls cannot move their eyes from side to side. Instead, they turn their whole head. An owl can turn its head much further than you can.
