Bees: Apis • There are 20,000 different kinds of bees! • All bees are flying insects who collect pollen and nectar from flowers. • Some bees have stingers, some don’t. • Only one kind of bee makes honey: Apismellifera.
Scientists say the bees are in trouble! • Bees get sick from too many pesticides in the environment. • Bees don’t have enough habitat and different flowers to forage on. • Bees suffer from different pests and diseases. What can we do to help the bees?
