Read the text once.  \nBees are smart creatures that work together to  \nmake honey. Most bees in a hive are called worker bees, and they have many important jobs.  \nFirst, worker bees fly out to collect nectar from flowers. Nectar is a sweet liquid inside flowers that bees love. Worker bees collect nectar using their long tongues and store it in a special part of their bodies called a honey stomach. When their honey stomachs are full, they return to the hive and pass the nectar to other worker bees. These bees chew the nectar and mix it with special juices from their bodies. This helps break down the sugars. They then let the nectar drip out of their mouths and spread it into the small wax cells of the honeycomb. To make the nectar thicker, worker bees fan their wings over the cells. This helps the water in the nectar dry up, turning it into honey. Once the honey is ready, the bees seal the cells with wax to keep it safe and fresh.  \nEvery bee in the beehive has an important role. While some bees collect nectar, others guard the hive, care for baby bees or make wax for the honeycomb. Together, the bees make golden honey to feed all the bees in their hive. Bees show how teamwork can help even small creatures do big things!  \n2. Read the text a second time. This time, underline the main idea and circle the supporting details.  \n3. Then answer the following questions:  \nWhat is the text’s main idea?  \na. Bees are smart creatures that work together to make honey.  \nb. Nectar is a sweet liquid inside flowers that bees love.  \nc. Worker bees collect nectar using their long tongues.  \nHow do you know this is the main idea?  \n______________________________________________________________________  \n______________________________________________________________________  \nWhich of the following details supports the main idea?  \na.
