What are bees?

-Bees are flying insects which collect nectar from the pollen that is in wild flowers (dandelion, sunflower ect.)

- Bees are not rare insects, you can find them in your very own garden.

- Bees have a specific colour of black and yellow

- The scientific name for a bee is Apis Mellifera.

- The Apis Mellifera (bee) has a stinger on its backside which when feels harmed by either another insect or human leaves the stinger in the human/insect with the poison inside which can be harmful to people with allergic reactions

What is an ant?

-Ants are insects that work for the queen of their colony so they can survive

-There are different types of ants, like driver ants which mate with the queen and produce eggs.

- Ants are found everywhere!!, but mainly on the ground or on walls outside.

-Every time you find an ant, you would most likely find it in a line, they are probably trying to find food for their colony so they can survive

-Ants mainly crave sugar and other sweet products, metaphorically speaking “they have a sweet tooth”.

-Ants are one of the tiniest insects in the world, yet they are one of the most common insects which you can find basically anywhere!

What is a wasp?

-A wasp is an insect quite like the bee.

- It lives in a hive and has a queen wasp which certain wasp mate with to produce eggs

- it has a pretty basic anatomy

- a wasps egg has a particular shape like all of the other insects apart of the hymenoptera family.

- GENERAL INFO

WEIGHT – 1g

LIFE SPAN – 40 Days

NUMBER OF YOUNG – 25 max.

All the insects we have just shown you have one BIG thing in common…they all are apart of the one family, Hymenoptera.

The Hymenoptera family all have a leader of their colony (queen), they each have specific names and jobs and they all will do anything to keep the colony safe.

Although ants don’t live in hives, they live in holes underground.

The hymenoptera family are a very commonly seen family yet very interesting and throughout our PowerPoint presentation, it will get even more interesting with facts, animations and more.

What do ants, bees and wasps live off ?

Bees fly from flower to flower collecting all the little particles of pollen in the middle on their feet they then fly back to the hive which then they produce a honey-like substance which they use to feed the young and other bees.

Ants live off other peoples food such as jams, lollies and other sweet treats. THAT’S WHY I HATE PICNICS!

Wasps have many different eating habbits.

One of them is that they feast on the honeydew other insects leave behind after from eating produced pollen

(now honey).
