The bee is a truly remarkable creature with a unique body structure which defies the principles of aeronautics. The bee is also the creator of such important products like bee's wax,honey,bee pollen and royal jelly.

    The tiny buzzing bees are true marvels of nature. Scientists have studied the flight of bees and have noticed that according to their body structures, it should be impossible for them to fly based on the principles of aeronautics. Yet, the bees fly effortlessly in the air. Bees also happen to be along with silkworms the only domesticated insects on the planet. The hard working bees create vast reserves of bee's wax, honey, bee pollen and royal jelly.

    If bees cease to exist or do become extinct, then we would lose about 2.2 billion pounds, of annual honey production around the world. It has also been noticed in studies that without the cross pollination of bees during their pollen and nectar gathering, at least 90 species of fruits, vegetables and grains would die out.

    Bees have found a vital place in history itself. Thanks to the existence of bees the phrase, "love as sweet as honey, has been coined, as well as the inclusion of wax candles to light up the night in ancient times and even the preparation of wax moulds to make gold, over the centuries.

    Our human ancestors have also considered honey to be more valuable than gold and sometimes honey was used by the Romans to pay taxes, instead of gold. The athletes of ancient Greece would also eat honey before entering any major sporting event in the competition arena. Another interesting piece of information is that honey jars were discovered in Egyptians tombs about 3,300 years after they were buried, and believe it or not, the honey in those ancient jars were still edible. Bees are the tiny magicians of the natural world who create such an amazing concoction called honey.

    蜜蜂-名符其實(shí)的非凡生物，不僅它們那獨(dú)特的身體結(jié)構(gòu)是對(duì)航空學(xué)原理的公然挑釁；而且蜜蜂也是蜂蠟、蜂蜜、花粉和蜂王漿等重要產(chǎn)品的創(chuàng)造者。

    小小身軀、嗡嗡叫的蜜蜂確實(shí)是大自然的奇觀。通過(guò)對(duì)蜜蜂的飛行進(jìn)行研究并根據(jù)其身體結(jié)構(gòu)，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)從航空學(xué)原理的角度來(lái)說(shuō)蜜蜂是不可能會(huì)飛的。但是，蜜蜂卻好不費(fèi)勁地在空中飛來(lái)飛去。蜜蜂與地球上家養(yǎng)的唯一昆蟲(chóng)-蠶也有關(guān)聯(lián)。勤勞的蜜蜂創(chuàng)造了大量的蜂蠟、蜂蜜、花粉和蜂王漿。

    如果蜜蜂不復(fù)存在或真的瀕臨滅絕，那么，全球每年的蜂蜜產(chǎn)量將減少約22億磅。研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)花粉和花蜜采集期間，如果沒(méi)有蜜蜂的異花授粉，那么至少會(huì)有90種水果、蔬菜和谷物物絕種。

    蜜蜂在歷史上已找到了自己賴(lài)以生存的棲息之地。由于蜜蜂的存在，成語(yǔ)"愛(ài)情甜蜜如蜂蜜"應(yīng)運(yùn)而生；還出現(xiàn)了蠟燭，照亮了遠(yuǎn)古時(shí)代的黑夜；數(shù)百年來(lái)，甚至產(chǎn)生了鍛造黃金的蠟?zāi)Ｖ苿��?/p>

    我們?nèi)祟?lèi)的祖先也早已認(rèn)為蜜蜂比黃金更有價(jià)值。有時(shí)，羅馬人不用黃金反用蜜蜂來(lái)繳稅。古希臘運(yùn)動(dòng)員在進(jìn)入競(jìng)技場(chǎng)參加任何重大賽事之前都要先食蜂蜜。另一條有意思的消息是在埃及人死后的大約3300年，人們?cè)谒麄兊膲災(zāi)估锇l(fā)現(xiàn)了蜂蜜罐子；而且更難以置信的是那些罐子里的蜂蜜居然還可食用。

    蜜蜂，自然界的微型魔術(shù)師，是它們釀造了這樣一種不可思議的調(diào)合物-蜂蜜。
