Text of the animal documentary for kindergarten and toddlers "WHY BEES MAKE HONEY":
The bee is part of the family of insects such as flies and ants.
The bee has four wings, two on each side.
It also has an abdomen with beautiful black and yellow stripes at the end of which we find the stinger (beware, it stings!). You know, the bee never stings for pleasure, it just stings when you bother it. If you leave her alone, you don't risk anything.
Come on, let's go back to our bee. Look well :
she has a trunk to pump nectar and two antennae on her head.
Thanks to its antennas it smells, tastes and hears.
The bee also has six legs. These two front legs smell of sugar while these two rear legs allow him to hear by capturing the vibrations around it.
You know, the bee can fly very very far.
To find flowers to forage, she can travel miles which is a lot for such a small insect.
When she has found her happiness, she goes from flower to flower and with her trunk to pump their nectar. which she stores in a part of her throat called the crop.
But by gathering flowers, thousands of grains of pollen cover the body of the bee. With its rear legs fitted with small combs, it cleans and collects pollen in small pockets located on the side of the hind legs: these are the baskets.
The nectar plus the pollen weigh very heavy but fortunately, the bee is very strong. She is able to carry the equivalent of her own weight for miles! Fortiche huh?
The bee is able to collect the equivalent of its own weight and it can transport its harvest for kilometers to reach its hive! Fortiche huh?
When the bee is wild, it brings back
his harvest in his hive
which can be found in the hollow of a tree, in a cliff fault, between two stones of a wall or in the chimney flue. At the end of the summer, it sometimes happens that you have to call the fire department or a beekeeper to come out a swarm of bees who have come to build their hive in the chimney. It's not very very funny ...
There are all kinds of beehives: some are made of braided straw, others are made of earth, there are even some that are carved from tree trunks. Today, hives are most often constructed with wooden planks. They have a roof, a small ventilation hole and an entrance protected by guards ready to use their sting to chase enemies who would like to invite themselves inside to take shelter or to steal their honey. ..
Inside the hive, the mason bees have built thousands of small wax tubes. These are the alveoli into which worker bees pour their mixture of nectar and saliva.
Once filled, the cells are plugged with wax and it is this mixture which will gradually transform into honey, honey which will serve as food for the bees during the winter.
As bees make a lot of honey, the surplus is harvested
by a person called “beekeeper” or “beekeeper” if it is a lady.
To avoid being stung by bees, he wears a white jumpsuit
and a black veil that protect it from bites.
The beekeeper takes care to annoy the bees as little as possible. To do this, he brushes them aside with smoke.
The beekeeper takes out the frames of the hive on which the honeycombs are located and he is very careful to leave enough honey for the bees so that they can feed during the winter, when there will be no more flower foraging.
There you are, you now know why bees make honey.
