How Does a Beehive Work Like a Tiny City?

A beehive is like a tiny city, and the bees are like its workers, builders, and rulers. The queen bee is like the king of the city, she lays all the eggs. Worker bees do different jobs: some collect honey, some clean the hive, others guard it. When the queen needs help, she sends out signals that tell other bees what to do. It's like a super-organized team with each bee having its own special role!
