The Bee

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow in complete sentences.

Bees live in a house that is called a hive. There are three kinds of bees: workers, drones, and

queens. Only one queen bee can live in each hive. If she is

lost or dead, the other bees will stop their work. Bees are

very wise and busy little creatures. They all join together to

build cells of wax for their honey. Each bee takes its proper

place and does its own work. Some go out and gather honey

from the flowers; others stay at home and work inside the hive. The cells which they build are all

of one shape and size, and no room is left between them. The cells are not round. They have six

sides. Did you ever look into a glass hive to see the bees while at work? It is pleasant to see how

busy they always are. Grade 3 Reading Comprehension
