Question

【題目】 Bees (蜜蜂) live in a house that is called a hive. They are of three kinds workers, queens, and drones.

They are very wise and busy little creatures (生物體). They all join together to build cells of wax （蠟巢） for their honey. The cells which they build are not round but have six sides. They are all of one shape and size.

Each bee takes its proper place, and does its own work. Some go out and gather (采集)honey from the flowers; others stay at home and work inside the hive. .

When spring comes, and the flowers begin to come out, the bees leave the hives very early in the morning. They fly away, and gather the sweet juice of the flowers. They do not visit only the flowers near at hand. They go very often more than a mile from their own hives, but they never lose their way. When a shower of rain comes on, they hide themselves in some little holes in a wall, or perhaps among the leaves of a tree, or inside a large flower.

Only one queen can live in each hive. If she is lost or dead, the other bees will stop their work.

The drones do not work. Before winter comes, all the drones are driven from the hive or killed, so that they may not eat the honey which they did not gather.

It is not quite safe for children to touch bees. They have sharp stings (螫針) that they know well how to use to protect themselves.
