Honey bees live in hives made of wax cells, usually located in hollow trees or other sheltered areas. They have four wings, six legs, and a black and yellow striped appearance, with the queen bee having a larger abdomen. Honey bees play an important role in pollinating flowers as they collect pollen and nectar to make honey. They communicate through dancing and antennae touching to share information. The worker bees perform different tasks like making wax, feeding larvae, ventilating the hive, and collecting pollen and nectar under the leadership of the queen bee.
