Bees live in little houses made of wood . Each house has a very small door for them to come in and out . We call their houses hives（蜂箱）. When the flowers of plants in the fields begin to come out , the bees fly away very early in the morning to get the sweet juice of the flowers .
A bee has a long tongue. It goes into the flower to suck up the juice . Then it carries the juice to the hive , and turns it into honey. When the bee flies out to look for flowers it may go to places very far , but it never loses its way . When the rain comes down , the bee will hide in some little hole in a wall or among the leaves of a tree . When the sun comes out again , it will fly home .
Bees collect not only the juice but also the pollen（花粉）from inside the flowers . They carry the pollen home to make beebread for the young bees .
