Bee

A bee is a flying insect known for pollination and complex social behavior. Bees belong to the order Hymenoptera and often live in structured colonies with queens, workers, and drones. Using pollen baskets on their legs, they collect nectar and pollen from flowers, supporting plant reproduction and food systems. Bees communicate through pheromones and the famous waggle dance, sharing information about resources. Their bodies are covered with branched hairs that trap pollen efficiently. Bees produce honey and wax, materials used within the hive. The Latin word commonly used for a bee is Apis. These insects are vital to ecosystems worldwide.
