    Bees, like ants, live in well-organized colonies. Each colony has thousands of bees; that is why a hive is always buzzing with activity.

The entrance to a beehive is very well-guarded. Should another insect try to go in and steal honey, the guards will grab it and sting it to death. All the while there is a busy traffic of bees coming and going. One after another they take off while others, heavily loaded with nectar and pollen, land and enter the hive. These are the forager bees which fly out and collect food for the other bees in the hive. They do a sort of dance to tell one another where and how far away food is. The one which has found food does the dance and once they has been told where to go, the others fly off to bring back more of the food.

     
1.   She has a puppy called Cutie.
2.   Shocked by the bad news, Helen burst into tears.
3.   Based on real events, the novel tells the stories of two soldiers.
4.   Born in Ipoh, Uncle Teng knows the history of the city.
5.   Sacked by the manager, the worker felt very sad.
