Bee (gathering)

Bees are small and fuzzy creatures that fly around from flower to flower. They collect sweet nectar and store it in special parts of their bodies called "honey stomachs."

Once they have enough nectar, they fly back to their homes, which are called hives, and they regurgitate the nectar into the honeycomb.

The honeycomb is a special structure made out of wax that the bees create themselves. The nectar is then transformed into honey by special enzymes in the bees' bodies.

This honey is important because it is the bees' main source of food. They eat it during the winter months when there are no flowers around. Honey is also delicious for humans to eat and is full of healthy nutrients.

So, in summary, bees go around to different flowers and collect nectar, which they turn into honey and store in their hives to eat later. Humans also enjoy eating honey because it is yummy and healthy.
