Reading Passage 閱讀短文

The honey bee is one of the most remarkable insects on the planet. This tiny creature plays an absolutely essential role in keeping our food supply alive. There are more than 20,000 known espèces of bees worldwide, but only about seven are true honey bees. These small workers can be found on every continent except Antarctica.

Honey bees live together in huge family groups called a colony. A single colony can contain 20,000 to 80,000 bees, all sharing one home: the hive. Inside the hive, bees build perfect six-sided cells out of beeswax, which they produce from special glands. The wax is shaped into the honeycomb, where they store honey, pollen, and their growing young. The queen lays eggs, worker bees collect nectar and care for the young, and drones help produce new queens.
