Insects of all kinds have existed on earth for millions of years. Sometimes we think of all insects as pests. H

52、uman life, however, would have a difficult time continuing without insects, because they pollinate plants and are a food source for many animals. Besides, insects, especially the social ones, are fascinating.Onevery interesting and useful social insect is the honey bee. Bees are considered social in

Although each insect has certain tasks to perform, the entire hive or colon
