When autumn arrived, tall golden sunflowers reached toward the blue sky. Yellow petals danced in the cool breeze. The whole class cheered as Carlos and Maya harvested clean seeds for all their classmates to share. Teamwork made the garden grow!

The Secret Life of Honeybees
Nonfiction Article
Honeybees are tiny insects with a huge job. They live together in large families called colonies inside wooden hives or hollow tree trunks. Each bee has an important job to help the colony survive.
Worker bees fly from flower to flower collecting sweet nectar and sticky yellow pollen . When bees land on blossoms, pollen rubs onto their fuzzy bodies. As they visit new plants, they spread this pollen. This special process helps apple trees, berries, and pumpkins grow fresh fruit!
Back in the hive, honeybees turn nectar into golden honey. When a bee finds a field of sweet wildflowers, it does a special “waggle dance” to show other bees where to fly. Honeybees work together as a super team!
Text Clue Check
1. What do worker bees collect from flowers?
A) Green leaves and twigs
B) Sweet nectar and pollen
C) Small pebbles and sand
2. How do bees tell others where flowers are?
A) By doing a waggle dance
