Study Notes
Bee Colony
- A bee colony has one queen, some drones, and many workers.
- Drones are male bees that do not work or sting.
- Worker bees are female and do all the work of the colony.
- They collect nectar from flowers, chew it, and turn it into honey.
- Worker bees produce wax and make their hive.
Bee Hive
- Bee hives are shaped into hexagonal shapes with six angles.
- The cells in the hive are called combs.
- Combs are used to keep eggs, nurse larvae, and store honey.
- Honey is the food of the colony members.
Farming
- Farmers used to store seeds from old crops.
- With the introduction of high-yielding seeds, farmers no longer need to store seeds.
- New machines, such as tractors and pumps, have improved farming efficiency.
- The new machines can do the work of bullocks in a shorter time.
- The use of high-yielding seeds and machines has increased profits for farmers.
- This increased profit has enabled farmers to improve their lives and make progress.
