Story 3. Honeybees.
Buzz, buzz.
We visited a farmer today.
He is not a regular farmer.
He's a beekeeper.
His honeybees make honey.
I love this sweet, sticky treat.
Honey bees are the only insects that make food for humans.
How do they do it?
They gather a sweet liquid from flowers and turn it into honey.
They live in a hive and travel many kilometers in search of flowers.
Honey bees travel more than 80,000 kilometers and visit about 2 million flowers to make just half a kilogram of honey.
Does the beekeeper get stung a lot?
Well, he wears special clothing for protection.
He has a special hat with a net that covers his face.
He wears gloves and a shirt with long sleeves.
He uses a little machine that makes smoke.
He says this helps to keep the bees calm.
It was amazing to see him work with thousands of bees flying around.
