BEES
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known
for their role in pollination and for
producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in
nine recognized families though many are undescribed and the actual number is
probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every
habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them
to obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females,
as is typical for the super family. Bees
all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a
very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight
difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers
are about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The
largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee whose
females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5"). Members of the family
Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common type of bee in the Northern
Hemisphere, though they are small and
often mistaken for wasps or flies.

Dear
Sir,
I’m sick of seeing so much rubbish on the roadside. Lastweek,I
drove from Woy Woy to Gosford and saw
over 200 soft drink cans and 80 bottles on the readside. The recycling and ” Do
the right thing ” campaigns obviously have not worked. Maybe the police should set up “litter” cameras as
well as speed cameras to catch motorists who pollute our roads. In South
Australia, you pay a deposit of five
cents on cans and bottles and this encourages people to return them rather than dump them. New South
Wales should introduce this idea immediatly.
Sincerly,
W.Thompson

drink water in a river, one of his feet got stuck into the damp mushy mud of
the river. He tried a lot of to get out of the mud, but didn’t achieve. He had
ti lie without food for days because he didn’t find any help. On one fortunate
day, a kind Jackal came to drink water from the river. When he saw the lion, he
went closer to the lion said , “What is the matter? Why are you resting here?”
The lion narrated him the pathetic story. The Jackal instantly made a way out
from the sand but the lion was unable to move his feet. As he was set in the
same posture for last several days, his body became stiff. The Jackal
understood the condition f the Lion and helped him to get out of the mud with
an extra effort. The lion was really thankful to Jackal for his kind help. He
was very happy to get free after so many days.
The Lion appreciated the effort made by the Jackal. He offered the Jackal to
live close to him and also promised to give food the lion whenever he caught
food. The Jackal accepted the offer and started living with the lion, Thus,
they lived happily sharing the food. With the passing time, they expanded their
families. The Lion had cubs and the Jackal had kid jackals. Both, the lion and
the Jackal were passing their days happily. They didn’t have any idea that

that she didn’t like the amity between the Jackal and her husband. The cubs
passed the message to the kid jackals. The kids complained the matter to the
lady Jackal. The lady Jackal passed the complaint to her husband.
The Jackal went to the Lion and asked, “I helped you without any thought in
return. You had asked me to live with you, so I started living with you. Now,
if you don’t want me to live with you, you should have told me yourself. What
did you involve your wife and cubs to convey this?”. The Lion was shocked to
hear such words. He said, “My dear Friend, what are you saying? I don’t any
problem with you or your friendship”. He assured the Jackal that he had no such
ill-feelings for the friendship between them.
The Lion also assured for that he would talk to talk to the lioness and solve
the whole matter. The jackal was intelligent and understood the situation. He
said to the lion, “I know you are sincere, but our families could not exactly
respond the same level of the friendship. So, let us stay apart and meet often
as friends. We could also hunt together. It would be better, if our
families stay apart”. The lion agreed to the proposal with a heavy heart.
