Bees
An essay by Timothy R. Tanglefrappe, 8.



Bees are insects. They buzz sometimes. They move their wings in a circular motion, and sometimes flap them backwards to take advantage of lift in both directions. Bees take nectar from flower hoo-hoos and turn it into honey. They have tiny little honey pots inside their hives.

Stay away from hives because bees can sting and bite you. My brother Todd whipped a hive with a sock full of quarters and he got stung 97 times on his face and arms and dingle. One of them flew in his pants and bit his dingle. Bees run on gasoline.

Bees have been around for millions of years and used to play dominoes with dinosaurs. They were much bigger then, about the size of a watermelon. They sounded like chainsaws. Bees have a queen who lays eggs all day like a chicken. But you can't make an omelette out of scrambled bee eggs. My brother Todd tried to scramble bee eggs and he got stung 85 times on his face and arms and poo-hole. One of the bees got into his pants and bit his poo-hole. The omelette tasted like tire-rubber.

Bees live in big groups. There are hundreds of dozens of them living in the hive. They have different levels of bees, like worker, and drone, and dancer. The dancer bees tell the other bees where the good nectar is so that they can make good honey for their pots and fatten the queen. The dancer bees are the ones wearing spandex.

In conclusion, bees are nature's BBs. They are small and fast and they can sting you. My brother Todd was shot by BBs once in his man hammer. The BB flew into his pants and bit his man hammer. Bees eat children's laughter sometimes.

Bees.
