Bees are flying
insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in
pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20.000 known
species of bees in nine recognized families though many are undescribed and the
actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent expect
Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect – pollinated
flowering plants.
Bees have a long
proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar
from flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in
males and 12 inn females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two
pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the tow; in a very few
species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult
or impossible, but none are wingless.
The smallest bee
is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm
(5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile Pluto,
a leaf cutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm (1.5").

MAKING CANDLES
Making colored
and scented candles is really quick and simple. What's more you'll save so much
money. If making candle is easy, why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you
need in making candle are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils, and a
double boiler. All these materials are available from craft shops. Or if you do
not want to buy them, you can improvise with an old saucepan, Pyrex jug, or
even a sturdy can, in pot of water. After providing the materials, follow this
procedure or instruction in making candles!
First of all,
melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it busting into flames;
you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom of the pan. Then,
prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the mould and make
sure that you leave a good few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the
bottom.
After that, add
the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of essential oil to
the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as long as it doesn't
contain water.
Next step, pour
the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the mould quickly, all in one
go. To minimize spillage and air bubbles
Then, release the
bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will eventually make the
candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more melted wax. Finally,
remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out
of its mould.
Your candle is
now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave if for a day before
lighting it.
