1) Read the Passage ๐
Read it out loud. Think: what is this mostly about?
Bees Are Helpful
Bees are small bugs, but they do a big job. Bees fly from flower to flower. They drink sweet nectar. Then they make it into honey.
Bees also help plants. When a bee lands on a flower, it picks up yellow pollen. The bee carries the pollen to the next flower. This helps new fruits and seeds grow.
Without bees, we would have less food. Bees are very helpful!
