How Does a Beehive Work?

Imagine a beehive as a tiny city where bees are like workers and builders. The queen bee is the boss, laying eggs, while worker bees do all the hard work, collecting food, building homes, and taking care of baby bees. They use wax to build little six-sided cells called honeycombs, which look like a beehive. These cells are perfect for storing honey and keeping baby bees safe. All the bees follow special rules to make sure everything works together smoothly.
