Answer: To eat when they are hungry.

Honey bees are incredible little gals! A worker bee will visit hundreds of flowers in a day to gather up nectar. The nectar is brought back to the hive where it is turned into honey and then stored for when the bees are hungry. Bees LOVE eating honey any time, but they store it mostly to save for winter months when flowers are not available.

The one bee in the hive that does not eat the honey is the queen bee. Queen bees are fed a diet of royal jelly made from pollen rather than nectar. The royal jelly is full of the protein a queen bee needs to continue to lay eggs to help the hive grow bigger.

Answer: They will only eat meat they kill.

Believe it or not, lions will happily take any meal they can get as long as it is meat. In fact, it is estimated that almost half of a lion's food comes from animals that were already dead from other predators or natural causes. Female lions will do almost all of the hunting and they do it as a team by surrounding their prey. If a male lion needs to hunt, it will usually hide and jump out and surprise the prey. Most animals that would be hunted are faster than the lion, so sneaking up is a critical strategy in order for the pride to be successful.

Answer: Yes

Yes, it is true! The sun is actually a star! It appears much bigger and warmer because it is so much closer to earth than other stars. Almost all life on earth is dependent on the sun for energy and warmth. Plants use the sun's rays to produce both oxygen and sugar. Oxygen is important for animals to breathe. Sugar gives animals the energy they need to stay alive. Without the sun there would be no plants and animals on earth.

Answer: East

A sunflower will start the day facing the direction east where the sun rises. Sunflowers will follow the sun throughout the day. This is called phototropism! Why does it follow the sun you ask? Well for two main reasons. First, facing the sun allows the flower to gain more heat that the flower can turn into energy. Second, the heat increases the chance that bees and other pollinators will visit and spread the flower's pollen.

Answer: Heat

A hot air balloon lifts off the ground when the air inside the balloon becomes hotter than the air outside the balloon. As the air heats up, it gets excited and expands out and needs more room. This results in there being less air inside the balloon making it lighter, or less dense, than the air outside the balloon causing it to rise.

The atmosphere is less dense the higher off the ground a balloon goes. Eventually, the density inside the balloon will be the same as the density outside the balloon and it will stop rising in the sky.
