My science discovery is on bees. Why I chose to do bees is because I have a seen a lot of them near my house in the past few weeks so that is why I am doing it on them. Their scientific name is __//Anthophila//__. Their length is between 1.5- 1.7 cm. They also have a lifespan on average of one year. Bees are flying insects related to wasps and ants. Bees are know for producing honey and beeswax.
