Classification
A bee is a member of the Apidae family and Hymenoptera Family. The superfamily, Apoidea contains at least 5,700 species of bees.

Description
A bee has three tiny simple eyes, these simple eyes assist bees with sun orientation so they can navigate well during the day, two large compound eyes, compound eyes have thousands of lenses. A short hair grows in the compound lenses of the eye. These hairs are believed to detect wind direction, antennae of a honey bee is used to smell, claws to tell sweet, bitter and salty tastes, pollen basket to carry the pollen while searching for more flowers, a stinger to protect themselves and wings to dry the nectar and to fly. 

Location
A bee lives in a hive, they can be found in flowers, collecting pollen. Many people believe that honey bees are originated in Africa and spread to Northern Europe, Eastern India, China and America. However, because honey bees have been domesticated to produce honey for use, they are now found all over the world in different habitats.


Dynamics
A bee collects nectar from flowers and on the way back to the hive, digestive enzymes are already working to turn the nectar into honey. When the worker bee returns to the hive, the worker bee will vomit the nectar into a mouth of another worker bee and to another and so on and they will create that honey.

Fact: Bees can see ultraviolet so that they can locate where the nectar is. Bees do the “Waggle Dance” so that they could find the flowers so they can collect the pollen from the nectar. If the bee does the waggle dance for 1 second it means its 1 kilometer away. 
A bee dies after stinging because their stingers come off after and soon die.
People say pure honey doesn’t expire.
