A-Mazing Bees!

Can you help the bee find its way through the honeycomb maze to get to the honey?

Then you can help them by coloring these hardworking bees and their beautiful hive.

Did You Know?

Worker bees are some of nature’s greatest sculptors. Beeswax is made from glands on their abdomen. They form the beeswax into shapes called cells using their mouths. The cells are the structure of the honeycomb and are where the baby bees and the food is stored. There are about 10,000 cells in each comb.

A beehive usually holds around 10–12 combs. Bees use honey as food for the larvae (or babies). During the winter, a hive can hold up to 90 pounds of honey!

Beekeepers provide bees with special homes so they can produce even more honey. Then they can harvest the extra honey to eat or sell.
