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?

  4. 4. What do the bees use to seal the cell?

Bats

Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Their wings are made of thin skin stretched between long finger bones. Most bats come out at night. They find their way by making high squeaks. The squeaks bounce off things and come back. The bat listens to the echo and knows what is ahead. Many bats eat insects. One small bat can eat a thousand insects in a night.
