Bees play a vital role their ecosystems when it comes to pollination. Bees are fascinating creatures with three main body parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen.
Their head has two big eyes that let them see everywhere, and antennae they use for smelling and touching. This helps them find flowers.
The thorax is the busy part of the body. It has six legs for walking and two pairs of wings that beat really fast, letting them zip from one flower to another.
The abdomen does more than just digest food. In female bees, it’s where honey is made. It also has a stinger, which bees use to protect themselves.
