Bees live in colonies that contain the queen bee, the worker bee and
the drone. Worker bees clean the hive, collecting pollen and nectar
to feed the colony and they take care
of the offspring. The drone’s only job is to mate with the queen.
The queen’s only job is to lay eggs.

Bees see all colors except red. That and their sense of
smell help them find the flowers they need to collect pollen.
Not only is pollen a food source for bees, but also some of the pollen
is dropped in flight, resulting in cross pollination.
