A group of bees is called a colony. A colony of bees live together in a hive.

A queen runs the colony. The queen gives all the other bees information from chemicals made in her body.

Bees are social. They cooperate with each other so the colony can survive.
The colony also has drones and workers. Drones stay close to the hive. They assist the queen to make her eggs ready to become baby bees or larva.

Worker bees are very busy. They build and protect the hive, find food and keep the air moving by beating their wings like fans.
