Have you seen bees in you garden? Watch them flying from flower to lower watch them
sucking up the nectar with their long flexible tongues. Have you ever caused to
think about the life of these industrious insects?
Bees do not live alone. They live within other members of their large family.
Each amily of bees makes up one colony of group. Each colony has a hive to live in.
A bee hive made up of six sided cells or compartments.
Thousands of bees live in a hive. There are three types of bees in a hive. They
are he queen bee, the drones and the workers. The queen is the head of the colony
of bees. She dose not rule them, but her presence is essential. She keeps the members
of the group together. She has one essential responsibility to perform. She lays eggs.
The drones are the males in the colony. They are lazy creatures. They do not work.
Heir only function is to help the queen by tertilized eggs and unfertilized eggs produce
lrones. There are about two to three thousand drones in each hive.
Fertilized eggs produce worker bees. Unlike the drones, the works attend to the ill
the work of the hive. They build their home on trees or in the hollow of trees. They fly
out in fields, forests and gardens and collect nectar and pollen. They convert this nectar
to honey and store it in cells. They bring water to the hive. They ventilate the hive and
also protect it from their enemies. They feed their queen and look after her young once.
Hese are the responsibilities of the worker bees. There a
re about thirty to forty thousand worker bees in each hive.
All these bees- the queen, the drones and the workers live and work together.

Working is a good to do. It gives us happiness. But working without rest is painful. And no
working is more painful. According of the famous English philosopher, Bertrand Russell,
even the dullest work is to most people less painful then idleness.
Some people tend to keep themselves idle because the work available
to them is not interesting. Advantages. One of them is that the working
man never becomes a mere day dreamer.

A rainbow is a beautiful sight. It is an arch of colored light in the sky.
To see this rain and sunshine should occur at the same time what makes
rainbow sunlight is made up of seven colors. Violet, indigo bludgeon, yellow,
orange and red are the colures. When a toy of light is passed through a prism it
spits in to the so seven colors. Similarly, the falling drops of rain act like small prisms.
They split up the white sunlight in to its serene colors. We see them in the rainbow. It is a
bow an arch, made by the rain. That is the main reason that there must be rain and sunshine
at the same time for the formation of a rainbow. When rain ceases, or the sun goes in, the
rainbow fades away.

There are various kinds of wild animals in the forests.
Among them elephant, tiger, dear, wild buffalo are common.
Out of these some animals eat herbs and leaves while others
eat the flesh of small animals. These animals can be seen at
sanctuaries. These animals are so cruel. So that we must not
tease them. When we go to the zoo there also we can see them.
But not freely. They are kept in cages or in dens. They cannot harm us
. Unlike in cage these animals look beauty or natural when they are in forests.
They live a happy life in forest. We have to safeguard ourselves without laughing
or teasing them.

Flying kites is a very interesting hobby. I like to fly kites because it makes me happy and proud.
There are different kinds of kites such as snakes and pea- cocks. We can see a lot of kite designs at
Gale face Green. Colombo. There we can buy readymade kits too.
Making a kite is because the kite should be balanced properly. Other wise it will fly
a few feet high and fall back to the ground.
Once I made a kite with red and blue stripes. And I made It fly very high At last I coul
d see It as a little speck of dust in the air. But at once the thread broke! Oh! Never saw my kit again.
