Explanation: How do Bees make Honey

                                

Bees go to the flowers to collect nectar . Nectar is a sweet juice of the flower. Bees suck nectar with a little straw called proboscis. proboscis is built in the mouth of the bee. They collect the nectar in a special stomach.

 Then they take the nectar to the hive. Then they flap their wings very hard. This turns the nectar into honey. Finally the bees cover the honey combs with wax.

Recount: Morning in the Park

One sunny morning, I went out in the park. I saw yellow daisies. They looked pretty. They reminded me of a puppy named Daisy. I saw a big shady tree. I heard birds singing up in the sky. There was a dog barking far away and I could hear the birds tweeting in the trees. Close by in the grass, the cicadas were whistling loudly. I lay down on the grass and the wind blew softly on my face. I wanted to go to sleep in the warm sun.
