2 Read this passage about bees. Then answer the questions that follow. eekeeping asics Michael Priestley 7 Open a jar of golden honey. Spread some on a slice of toast. Take a bite and enjoy its special sweetness. There's nothing else quite like it! Where does honey come from? ees make it, right? ut wait! ees are insects. They don't set up little factories for making honey and putting it in jars, do they? What's the real story behind the honey we eat? Since ancient times, people have known that bees make a delicious, sweet food. To get it, people would search for a hive of wild bees and steal the honey. Then some people figured out that they could get honey more easily if they made hives for bees to live in. They became beekeepers. The first hives were probably hollow logs or clay pots turned on their sides. Later, in about 1500, farmers in Europe began building straw beehives that looked like baskets turned upside down. Farmers from Europe brought honeybees with them to merica in the 1600s. round 1850, an merican beekeeper invented a better kind of hive called the hanging movable-frame beehive. It looks like a stack of boxes. Inside are wooden frames where bees build wax honeycombs for storing their honey. This is the kind of hive that most beekeepers use today. The amazing thing about a beehive is how much it actually is like a little factory for making honey. Each hive is home to a colony of as many as 60,000 bees. colony has one queen that lays eggs. Other bees have different jobs, such as building the honeycomb, keeping it clean, feeding the young, or making honey. Some bees are guards that protect the hive. If a guard thinks you are a danger to the colony, it will sting you. Honey is made from nectar, a sweet liquid inside flowers. bee sucks nectar from a flower and then brings it back to the hive. wax-making bee places the nectar in a honey cell. Other bees add more and more nectar to the honey cell. The nectar is mostly water when it is first brought to the hive. "House bees" fan their wings over the cell to remove the water. s the water evaporates, the nectar changes into honey. When the honey in a cell is ready, the bees cover it with a wax cap. eekeepers give the bees several months to fill the honeycombs in a hive. ees must gather nectar from more than a million flowers to make just one pound of honey! When the honey is ready to harvest, beekeepers wear special clothes that cover their bodies completely. Otherwise, they would surely be stung many times as they pull frames filled with honey from the hive. Informational Text ssessment 7 1
3 9 Using special tools, beekeepers can extract the honey without breaking the honeycomb. They do this so that the bees will not need to rebuild the honeycomb. When the beekeeper puts the frames back into the hive, the bees will start filling them with honey again. No bee can make honey alone. It takes a large team of very hard workers to get the job done. We could learn a lot from these little creatures about working together and getting things done. 1 Look at the box containing words from the article. honeybees beekeepers honeycomb 2 The job of the queen bee is to sting enemies. lay eggs. feed the young. make honey.
