The bees


Bees eat pollen and nectar.
 They use the first one basically as food for their larvae, and the second one as energetic material. The most popular specie is the common bee, a social insect which live in communities formed by three classes of individuals: the queen, the working bees and the drones.

However, most of them are solitaries, so they don’t create communities.
Bees transmit the pollen from one flower to another. 
This is very important for the reproduction of plants.

It is said that without bees, the humans would be extinguish in for years.
It is believed that exist near thirty thousand types of species, although we just know twenty thousand.
Humans use bees to obtain honey and wax.
