Bee report

The Latin name for a bee is Apis. Bees have no back bone so it is an invertebrate.Its species is an insect.


Habitat
Bees live in places called a hive they live in groups called colonies or sometimes a swarm. Bee keepers make specially made boxes to get the honey from the bees.

Description
Bees have black and yellow stripes on them. Bees have something on their bottom called a stinger. The stinger has poison in it and that is what makes it hurt. Bees have stripes to warn predators that they are poisonous. A bees tongue is called a proboscis. It is used to suck nectar from the flowers. 

Dynamics

Bees only make a 1/12 of a teaspoon in their lifetime. Bees can only fly five miles away from the hive. Bees do a wiggle dance to communicate. Bees produce honey honey by going to flowers then bring back the nectar and then they put the nectar in a hexagonal cell.

Bees are endangered because we are using to much heat and diseases are going round too so we should be aware of that and find medicines for these. We should start using less heat, to prevent global warming and protect the environment for the bees.
