The bee is a truly remarkable creature with a unique body structure which defies the principles of aeronautics. The bee is also the creator of such important products like bee's wax,honey,bee pollen and royal jelly.

The tiny buzzing bees are true marvels of nature. Scientists have studied the flight of bees and have noticed that according to their body structures, it should be impossible for them to fly based on the principles of aeronautics. Yet, the bees fly effortlessly in the air. Bees also happen to be along with silkworms the only domesticated insects on the planet. The hard working bees create vast reserves of bee's wax, honey, bee pollen and royal jelly.

If bees cease to exist or do become extinct, then we would lose about 2.2 billion pounds, of annual honey production around the world. It has also been noticed in studies that without the cross pollination of bees during their pollen and nectar gathering, at least 90 species of fruits, vegetables and grains would die out.

Bees have found a vital place in history itself. Thanks to the existence of bees the phrase, "love as sweet as honey, has been coined, as well as the inclusion of wax candles to light up the night in ancient times and even the preparation of wax moulds to make gold, over the centuries.

Our human ancestors have also considered honey to be more valuable than gold and sometimes honey was used by the Romans to pay taxes, instead of gold. The athletes of ancient Greece would also eat honey before entering any major sporting event in the competition arena. Another interesting piece of information is that honey jars were discovered in Egyptians tombs about 3,300 years after they were buried, and believe it or not, the honey in those ancient jars were still edible. Bees are the tiny magicians of the natural world who create such an amazing concoction called honey.

蜜蜂-名符其实的非凡生物，不仅它们那独特的身体结构是对航空学原理的公然挑衅；而且蜜蜂也是蜂蜡、蜂蜜、花粉和蜂王浆等重要产品的创造者。

小小身躯、嗡嗡叫的蜜蜂确实是大自然的奇观。通过对蜜蜂的飞行进行研究并根据其身体结构，科学家们发现从航空学原理的角度来说蜜蜂是不可能会飞的。但是，蜜蜂却好不费劲地在空中飞来飞去。蜜蜂与地球上家养的唯一昆虫-蚕也有关联。勤劳的蜜蜂创造了大量的蜂蜡、蜂蜜、花粉和蜂王浆。

如果蜜蜂不复存在或真的濒临灭绝，那么，全球每年的蜂蜜产量将减少约22亿磅。研究还发现花粉和花蜜采集期间，如果没有蜜蜂的异花授粉，那么至少会有90种水果、蔬菜和谷物物绝种。

蜜蜂在历史上已找到了自己赖以生存的栖息之地。由于蜜蜂的存在，成语"爱情甜蜜如蜂蜜"应运而生；还出现了蜡烛，照亮了远古时代的黑夜；数百年来，甚至产生了锻造黄金的蜡模制剂。

我们人类的祖先也早已认为蜜蜂比黄金更有价值。有时，罗马人不用黄金反用蜜蜂来缴税。古希腊运动员在进入竞技场参加任何重大赛事之前都要先食蜂蜜。另一条有意思的消息是在埃及人死后的大约3300年，人们在他们的坟墓里发现了蜂蜜罐子；而且更难以置信的是那些罐子里的蜂蜜居然还可食用。

蜜蜂，自然界的微型魔术师，是它们酿造了这样一种不可思议的调合物-蜂蜜。
