3.Answer the following questions and write in s(a) What does the bee stand for?(b) What does the crocodile stand for?(c) Why does the bee work hour after hour?
Answers
(a)a black and yellow insect that lives in large groups and that makes a sweet substance that we eat (honey)
(b)a large reptile with a long tail and a big mouth with sharp teeth. Crocodiles live in rivers and lakes in hot countries
(c)They’re pretty industrious but not as busy as some other animals. A honeybee might work anywhere from just a few hours a day to about 12, depending on its role in the beehive. For example, worker bees tasked with the daily foraging of nectar or pollen generally spend nearly every hour of daylight outside—but as soon as it gets dark they get to head back to the nest and relax. (Honeybees don’t sleep the same way that humans do—they don’t have eyelids, for one—but they do stop moving, relax their muscles, and let their antennae gradually slump.) Worker bees whose duties lie within the nest don’t have it easy, either—they stay a little busy around the clock, tending to the honeycombs, fanning their wings to keep the nest cool, but they do take frequent breaks. Queens are also busy, if relatively immobile, laying more than 1,000 eggs each day. Drones, by contrast, are quite lazy. They don’t leave the hive until early afternoon, at which time they carouse around in packs, and when they get home just a few hours later, they rely on the worker bees to feed them.
Hope this helps you
