Conclusion:

Bees are useful to us in many ways. They give us

honey. They give us wax. We use honey to sweeten
the milk or the curd which we take. It is also used in
medicines. Little children are given honey when they
suffer from cold or cough. Wax, which we get from
the bee0give, is used for making candles. Many
people earn their living by rearing bees and selling
honey and tapers. Honey is delicious, sweet and
nourishing food. Bees promote the growth of flowers
by carrying pollen dust from flowers. Bees are a
lesson to idle. The world would smile with health
and plenty if all men are as industrious as the bees.
