Grade 3 Context Clues Reading Comprehension: The Busy Life of Honeybees
Honeybees are essential insects in our world because they help plants grow. As they fly from flower to flower, they collect a yellow powder called pollen. This sticky dust clings to their fuzzy legs. Moving this dust is part of a very important process called pollination. Bees are often attracted to vibrant flowers that have bright colors like red or purple. Inside their hive, a large colony of bees works together to make honey and care for their queen. Every bee has a special job that helps the whole group. The survival of many fruits and vegetables depends on these tiny workers. Without them, we would not have many of the foods we love to eat.
