Read the text, then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
An average beehive contains more than 50,000 rooms (cells) and more than 35,000 busy
bees. Each bee has its own special job.
The queen bee lays eggs daily twice her own weight; the drones or male bees mate with
young queens; and the workers, or females, act as nurses, guards, room builders, and
gatherers of food. These workers make 37,000 trips to find flower nectar, and carry it
back to the hive to make 500 grams of honey.
The wings of honeybees beat at the amazing rate of 200 times per second. Thats why
bees buzz ! Bees use their wings inside the hive to create good air circulation during
warm weather. In winter, the beating of bees wings keeps the hive warm.
Bees buzz, but they dont know it. Most authorities believe that bees are deaf.
1. Bees have special jobs.
2. The male bees are the workers and act as guards.
3. Queen bees are called drones.
4. Female bees act as room builders and they gather food.
5. Bees use nectar to make honey.

An american and a Scotsman were discussing about
the cold experienced in winter in the nord of Scotland.
Why, its nothing at all compared to the cold we
has in the United States, said the American.
I remember on winter when a sheep, jumping
from a hillock into a field, become suddenly frozen
on the way, and stuck in the air like an mass of ice.
But, man, exclaimed the Scotsmen, the law of
gravity wouldnt allow that.
I know that, replied the American, but the law
of gravity was frozen, too.
