Pest World for Kids: Do All Bees Make Honey?

Did you know there are 20,000 different types of bees in the world? But only one kind makes honey: the honeybee. This bee species lives in large families, or colonies, and can be found all over the world.

Female “worker” bees produce honey from pollen and nectar that they collect from plants on their fuzzy bodies while pollinating. They then store the honey in honeycombs made of wax inside their nest.
