	Bee - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source, and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients.
		Bees periodically stop foraging and groom themselves to pack the pollen into specialized pollen baskets which are on the legs of honeybees and some other species, and on the ventral abdomen on other species.
		Cleptoparasitic bees, commonly referred to as "cuckoo bees" because their behavior is similar to that of cuckoo birds, occur in several bee families.

		Female bees periodically stop foraging and groom themselves to pack the pollen into the scopa, which is on the legs in most bees, and on the ventral abdomen on others, and modified into specialized pollen baskets on the legs of honeybees and their relatives.
		Certain species of allodapine bees (relatives of carpenter bees) also have primitively eusocial colonies, with unusual levels of interaction between the adult bees and the developing brood; this is called "progressive provisioning", when a larva's food is supplied gradually as it develops, and this system is also seen in honeybees and some bumblebees.
		Cleptoparasitic bees, commonly referred to as "cuckoo bees" because their behavior is similar to that of cuckoo birds, occur in several bee families, though the name is technically best applied to the apid subfamily Nomadinae.

	Bee History
		mellifica, or "the honey-mak- ing bee ' " was proposed in 1761.
		Bees also communicate via the aroma and taste of the products they bring back to the hive, as well as by at least 31 pheromones (chemical compounds) they produce from glands in their bodies.
		Bees convert nectar to honey by drying it down to a moisture content of 15 to 20 percent and by adding a salivary enzyme that changes sucrose (long-chain sugar) into glucose and fructose (two short-chain sugars); honey is composed of sugars, mainly fructose and glucose.

	On "The Bee Meeting"
		In "The Bee Meeting," the scene is a village social; the speaker goes to hunt the queen bee in the company of the rector, the midwife, the sexton -- those public agents of marriage, birth, death, the world in which she must now define her identity.
		In an interesting etymological loop, the word "bee," meaning a meeting of neighbors who unite their labors for the benefit of one of their number (as in a barn raising bee or a quilting bee), is an allusion to the social character of the insect.
		This sense of "bee" may account for the fact that the villagers all appear to be doing something specifically to or for the speaker and may qualify the speaker’s paranoid response to their attentions toward her.
