A History in Pictures from USDA


 
The bee is a beneficial insect. It produces honey and beeswax and pollinates many plants. Three forms of bees exist; the queen, which lays the eggs; the drone, which mates with the queen; and the worker, which builds the hive and cares for the colony living in it. This worker is gathering nectar or pollen to take back to the colony.
