Many insects die at the start of winter, but not Honey Bee. The Queen and Workers survive the winter to continue their hive. The Workers gather nectar, then turn it into honey, and store the honey in wax cells. The Bees live on this honey thoughout the winter.
Honey Bee is found throughout the world, and is highly valued for Her honey. Throughout spring and summer, Worker Bee will leave the nest to collect nectar and pollen to take back with Her for honey production. Returning from a large field of flowers, Worker Bee will dance to tell Her Fellow Bees where the food is.
Do not be afraid of Honey Bee, while She buzzes about pollinating flowers and fruit. Honey Bee's pollination is necessary for nature to proliferate. Honey Bee gives back more than She takes. Without Honey Bee, we would have less food. She teaches us how not to be greedy, since there is enough for everyone.
