Passage 1: 🐝 Busy Bees
Bees are incredibly important insects. They pollinate flowers, which helps plants grow fruits and vegetables. Without bees, many of the foods we eat would not exist. Bees also make honey, which people have enjoyed for thousands of years. They work together in hives, with each bee having a special job. Some bees collect nectar, others look after the baby bees, and the queen bee lays eggs.
