They often curl into a ball during the cool winter months to preserve the warmth.<\/p><p>These bright yellow and black insects are of great help to humans.

Bees are invertebrates. It means they do not have backbones.&nbsp;<\/p><p>2. Bees live in colonies with other bees.&nbsp;<\/p><p>3. A male bee is called a drone.<\/p><p>4. Bees have two&nbsp;pairs&nbsp;of wings &#8211; Fore wings and Hind wings.&nbsp;Fore&nbsp;Wings are bigger than Hind wings.<\/p><p>5. Bees have 170 different odour receptors to help them distinguish flowers from each other.<\/p><p>6. The bee family comprises of three different members:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Queen Bee:<\/strong> She is the one responsible for laying eggs. She runs the hive and is supported by worker bees.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Worker Bees:<\/strong> Like the name suggests, these are workers who collect nectar, build and clean hive. The bees you see in your garden are most likely worker bees.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Drone:<\/strong> Male bees are called drones. Their only purpose is to mate with the queen bee.<\/li><\/ul><p>7. A queen Honey bee can lay unto 2500 eggs a day. Crazy but true!<\/p><p>8. Some bees like Carpenter Bee, Leaf cutter bee, Mason bee, Digger Bee and Mining Bee are solitary in nature. That is, they live alone and make their single&nbsp;nest.<\/p><p>9. Queen bee lives somewhere between 2-5 years, a worker bee lives upto 5-6 weeks and a drone&nbsp;upto&nbsp;6-7 weeks.<\/p><p>10. Honeybees flap their wings up to 230 times in a second.&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"khighlighter\"><em>If you Love Fun Facts for Kids, check out <\/em><em style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/fun-facts-for-kids-weird-but-true\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">254 Weird But True Fun Facts for Kids. <\/a><\/em><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\"><strong>How Do Bees Make Honey?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Honey is basically 80% sugar and 20% water. Bees using nectar, which they collect from flowers, make this golden sweet liquid. Honey is the only animal food made by insects that is consumed by humans. That indeed makes it special.<\/p><p>An average honeybee makes only 1\/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime. So for every teaspoon, you need to be thankful to as many as 12 honeybees.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Making honey is a serious task&nbsp;and that is&nbsp;what Honeybees live on during the cold winter months. But thankfully, they make a lot more than they need so we can have some too!<\/p><p>It is the worker honeybees we need to thank for honey. To make honey, they visit many flowers to collect their sweet nectar. <\/p><p>Now, honeybees have two&nbsp;stomachs. One stomach is for storing honey and the other for food. So, the honeybee collects nectar till its honey stomach is full of nectar and can hold no more. <\/p><p>It then flies off to its hive where it gives them nectar to other worker honeybees, who then chew on the nectar for about 30 minutes.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How Do Bees Make Honey?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nZlEjDLJCmg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>After 30 minutes of chewing the nectar, the honey is almost ready. It is then stored in honeybee\u2019s own&nbsp;jar&nbsp;that is the hexagonal cells of the hives.<\/p><p>Lastly, other worker bees fan their wings around the honey to make it more sticky and less watery. Now, that\u2019s a lot of work!<\/p><p>We need to be really thankful to our honeybees for this sweet food of theirs and use it with care. You can do your bit for the honeybees, for the honey they give, by planting flowers that are full of nectar.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>The Honeycomb: A Mathematical Wonder<\/strong><\/h2><p>Honey Bees are great builders. If you have ever looked at a honeycomb, you will realise that they are hexagonal in shape. Isn\u2019t it wonderful and amazing? <\/p><p>These combs are a mathematical wonder. Almost all the cells in the honeycomb are same in size and shape. Now, that\u2019s not an easy task!<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kidpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kianakali-XycDjxmA-nQ-unsplash.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Honey comb\" class=\"wp-image-19200\"\/><\/figure><\/div><p>The honeycomb is made of wax produced by bees. Young worker bees are entrusted with the task of producing wax.<\/p><p>When a worker bee is nearly 10 days old, it\u2019s wax-producing glands, four pairs of those, get active. These glands produce wax and secrete it, which is then deposited on the sides of bee\u2019s abdomen. <\/p><p>On contact with air, the wax hardens and deposit as thin wax scales on the bee\u2019s bodies. After the wax has hardened, the bee scrapes it off its abdomen using its legs. <\/p><p>It then chews on the wax to make it soft and palpable to mould into hexagonal shapes,&nbsp;consequently building&nbsp;a honeycomb. A healthy bee may produce eight scales of wax in 12 hours. One gram of Beeswax needs around 1000 scales. Quite a lot of work!<\/p><p>Honeycomb is a perfect example of <a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/product\/tessellation-math-activities\/\">tessellation<\/a> occurring in nature. Bees use this tessellating structure to maximise storage space while using minimum wax to make these. Simply astounding!<\/p><p>Much like Honey, beeswax is also valuable to human beings. It is used in lip balms, body lotions, to make candles and also as a coating &amp; varnish.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Bee Activities for Kids<\/strong><\/h2><p>These easy bee activities for toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners are a perfect way to teach them about these wonderful creatures.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Drink Like a Bee<\/h3><p>This is a fun-filled bee activity for preschoolers to help them understand how bees drink nectar. Bees have hairy long tongue&nbsp;that resembles a mop.&nbsp;<\/p><p>It&nbsp;is covered with tiny&nbsp;hairs&nbsp;that&nbsp;raise the moment&nbsp;honeybee dips its tongue into the nectar. This allows more nectar to stick on to the hairs and thus enabling a honeybee to suck more nectar in every sip.<\/p><p>To help understand how it works, try this simple activity.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplies:<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Old Mascara brush\/ small bottle brush<\/li>\n\n<li>Straw<\/li>\n\n<li>A cup\/bowl<\/li>\n\n<li>Craft paper<\/li>\n\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n\n<li>Tape<\/li>\n\n<li>Honey<\/li>\n\n<li>Thick Paper towels<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to do it:<\/h4><p>Step 1: Take a cup and fill it half with honey. Keep it aside.<\/p><p>Step 2: Draw a flower on the craft paper and cut it out using scissors.<\/p><p>Step 3: Cut a small hole in the center of the flower.<\/p><p>Step 4: Paste the flower on the honey bowl, so as to cover it, using tape.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kidpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/17353576_380214749030796_6953733812553960955_n.jpg?resize=600%2C526&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19184\"\/><\/figure><\/div><p>Step 5: Ask your child to hold the straw in his\/her mouth and dip it in the flower to replicate a honeybee drinking nectar.<\/p><p>Step 6:&nbsp;Repeat step 5, with a mascara\/bottle brush.<\/p><p>Step 7: Using paper towel, wipe the straw and the brush to see which tongue gathered more honey.<\/p><p>This super easy activity will help your child understand why a honeybee\u2019s tongue has hairs on it and how they help it drink nectar.&nbsp;<\/p><p>For our activity, we even made a headband to get a feeler of a real bee and add lot more fun.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Flower Pollination Bee Activity<\/h3><p>One of the best and easiest Bee activities for kids, this one&nbsp;will&nbsp;help your children get the hang of pollination hands-on way. <\/p><p>Understanding pollination and how bees &amp; birds help in pollination is a bit tricky for children to understand. This easy STEM activity makes it a breeze for the kids.<\/p><p>All you need is a bag of cheese nachos or salted cheese popcorn and a bowl. Other flavours work as well&nbsp;but this works the best!<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to do it:<\/h4><p>Step 1: Empty the nachos in a bowl.<\/p><p>Step 2:&nbsp; Ask your little ones to&nbsp;touch&nbsp;a few using their hands. No licking fingers allowed!<\/p><p>Step 3: After they have had a few bites, ask them to touch a tissue paper.<\/p><p>What do you see? Is there magic pollen on the tissue paper too?&nbsp;Just the way some of the seasonings stick to your hands when you eat with fingers, pollen sticks to bees and bird\u2019s bodies. <\/p><p>And when they fly to other flowers, this pollen falls&nbsp;and&nbsp;gets transferred to other flowers and plants. Simple pollination!<\/p><p>Bees are excellent pollinators and we need them to maintain our ecological balance! They are our natural pollinators and we cannot do without them.<\/p><p class=\"khighlighter\"><em>Related: Also check out <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/best-plant-science-activities-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plant Activities for Kids<\/a><\/strong> that make learning fun.<\/em><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
