Reading and writing practice test 2, Grade 3 — question 23 of 40
Read the passage. Then answer the questions.
Honeybees
Honeybees live together in a home called a hive. A hive holds a very big family of bees, and each bee has a job.
The queen bee is the mother of the hive. Her job is to lay eggs. The worker bees are all female, and they do almost everything else. They clean the hive, feed the young bees, and guard the door.
Worker bees also fly from flower to flower to collect nectar, a sweet liquid inside flowers. Back at the hive, they turn the nectar into honey. The honey is food for the bees in winter.
When a worker bee finds a good patch of flowers, she flies home and does a special dance. The way she moves shows the other bees which way to fly to find the flowers.
