DESCRIPTION
Bees are not native to North America. They were
brought here by settlers who came from Europe.
There are many kinds of bees. They are very
important to plants. As they collect pollen and nectar from plants, they spread the pollen
from one plant to another. This makes the plants able to form seeds.
Bees are social insects. They live in hives which
they build. Each hive has a queen whose job is to lay the eggs. There are worker bees
which collect food, make honey, and feed the babies.
Most of North America
