![Page 6: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
it’s made up of simple boxes that contain
HONEYCOMB FRAMES
![Page 7: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

HONEYCOMB FRAME
![Page 8: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
each HIVE contains a
COLONY of HONEY BEES
![Page 9: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
on certain frames the Bees store
HONEY
![Page 10: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
the honey is drawn from the frames by spinning in an
EXTRACTOR using
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE

on other FRAMES the Queen Bee lays eggs to raise young
bees and store POLLEN
![Page 13: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
these eggs are laid by a single
QUEEN BEE in each COLONY
![Page 14: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
can you spot the QUEEN bee
![Page 15: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

the QUEEN bee is much larger than the WORKER bees
![Page 17: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
this is a female
WORKER BEE
![Page 18: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
this is a male DRONE BEE
![Page 19: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Let’s look at some parts of the Honey Bee
![Page 20: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
how many eyes can you see ?
are there 2, 5 or thousands of eyes?
![Page 21: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
this is what WE see
This is what the BEE sees
![Page 22: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
this common BUTTERCUP signposts the bee to its store
of nectar
![Page 23: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
why is the Bee’s tongue so long?
![Page 24: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It acts like a simple pump to extract the NECTAR from the
flower?
![Page 25: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

![Page 34: Honey Bees at the Woodlands Farm](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062800/5681429f550346895daed7bf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
for flying the pairs of wings are clipped together with these
hooks
