If i could be an animal... i would like be a bee.

Before i say why! i like to know you what bee does it mean...

The bee are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, they are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen to make a very sweet liquid, its called honey, and the bees maybe solitary or may live in various type of communities.

They live together in very organize way, and every group of bees have a queen.

I would like to be a bee, because it is useful for human and it is very organise.
