Honey bees are hardworking, useful insects that pollinate nearly one-third of all the food we eat and make our life sweeter with the honey they produce. In a single day, a single hive can pollinate four million flowers and make up to two pounds of honey. But scientists are confused by an international bee crises, with bees disappearing from their colonies in record numbers in a trend first noticed in 2006.<\/p>\n

All About Honey: Kids' Zone

“Honeybees are called social insects because different members of the colony have special jobs which help the entire colony. Do you have special jobs or chores that you do to help your family?” All About Honey is published by the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association of Canada. Visit for bee facts and printable bee activity sheets.<\/p>\n

EPA: Pollinator Protection: Coloring Collapse Disorder

“Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. Once thought to pose a major long term threat to bees, reported cases of CCD have declined substantially over the last five years.”<\/p>\n

National Geographic Kids: Ten Facts About Honey Bees

Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruit.” These ten honey bee facts are accompanied by a slide-show photo gallery and are sure to interest elementary and middle-school kids.<\/p>\n
