How Bees Make Honey
Honey bees are busy insects. They live together in a home called a hive. One hive can hold thousands of bees.
Worker bees fly from flower to flower. They suck up a sweet juice called nectar with their long tongues. They carry the nectar back to the hive in a special part of their body called a honey stomach.
Back at the hive, the bees pass the nectar to other bees. These bees put it into tiny six-sided rooms made of wax. The nectar is still runny, so the bees fan it with their wings. This dries it out and turns it thick and sticky. Now it is honey!
Last, the bees cover each room with a wax lid. The honey is saved for the winter, when there are no flowers.

A frog starts life as a tiny egg in a pond. The eggs stick together in a soft, wobbly clump.
A small tadpole hatches from each egg. A tadpole has a long tail. It swims in the water and breathes with gills, just like a fish.
The tadpole eats and grows. Soon it grows back legs. Then it grows front legs. Its tail gets shorter and shorter.
At last, the tail is gone. Now it is a frog! The frog can hop on land and swim in the pond. It breathes air with its lungs. It catches flies with its long, sticky tongue.
One day, the frog may lay eggs of its own. Then the life cycle starts all over again.
