Read this text from a webpage about bees and then answer the questions.
A bee is an insect that has three body parts: a head, a thorax and an abdomen.
It also has six legs and four wings.
Bees fly from flower to flower, sipping nectar and collecting pollen. In the hive,
where they live, the nectar is turned into honey to use as food. The pollen that
bees collect helps plants to reproduce (make more plants). Flowers that attract
bees are usually yellow, blue or purple. Many bees look for only one type of
flowering plant, which stops different bees from fighting over the same flower!
There are thousands of bees in each hive. All the bees in the hive work together
and help each other. Every bee has a job to do. The queen bee lays the eggs;
the worker bees build the honeycomb (the place the honey is stored), collect
food and care for the larvae (baby bees).
Bees are the only insects in the world that make food people can eat. They
also help our crops and plants grow.

1. The first step in honey making is collecting the nectar. Field bees, the older
worker bees, leave the hive to search for nectar. They have a strong tongue
like a tube, called a proboscis. They use this to suck up the nectar.
2. Once the nectar is collected, the field bees return to their hives. Young
worker bees take the nectar from the field bees.
3. Next, the nectar is turned into honey inside the beehive. The first honey the
bees make has a lot of water in it.
4. Now, the water in the honey is reduced. This is done by the honey bees. By
moving their wings very quickly, they make the air move around. This dries
the honey.
5. Once the honey is drier, the bees seal it into the honeycomb.
6. A beekeeper can now collect the honey from the hive. And, finally, the
honey is bottled and sold so that we can enjoy it.
