   The skin will swell 1 at the place where you were stung, and that spot will feel very sore for several days. 皮肤被叮咬的地方高高肿起, 在接下来的几天时间里, 这个伤口都会令人感到疼痛难忍。


  The hive bee is dark brown in colour, and its body is covered with brown hairs. 蜜蜂的体色呈深棕色, 覆盖着一层棕色绒毛。
  Its length is a little more than half an inch. 蜜蜂体长半英寸稍多一些,
  The body of the bee, like that of all insects, is divided into three parts—the head, the chest, and the belly 2.  与所有的昆虫一样, 蜜蜂的身体分为三个部分——头部、胸部与腹部。
  The head has two eyes, two feelers, and a long trunk or tongue with which the bee gathers honey from the flowers. 蜜蜂的头上长有两只眼睛、两根触角以及长长的喙或者说是舌头, 它就是通过这个器官来收集花蜜。
  The chest has two pairs of gauzy wings above, and underneath 3 there are three pairs of jointed 4 legs. 胸部共有两种器官:上面是两对轻薄的翅膀, 下面则是三对长有关节的腿。
  The belly is the largest of the three parts of the body, but it has no limbs attached to it. 在蜜蜂的整个身体中, 腹部体积最大, 不过却没有任何附肢与之相连。
  If we examine the body of the bee carefully, we shall see that it is made of a number of rings joined together. 仔细观察蜜蜂的身体, 就会发现, 它是由很多彼此相连的环形结构组成。
  Each of the two hind 5 legs of the bee has a hollow called the "basket" on the outer side. 蜜蜂的两条后腿外侧都有一个被称作花粉筐(也叫花粉篮)的中空部分。
  In these two baskets the working bee stores up the pollen 6, or yellow grains like dust, which it gets from the flowers. 工蜂将那些从花朵中采集的花粉(粉末状的黄色微粒)储存在这两个“篮子”里面。
  This pollen is taken to the hive and mixed with honey. 蜜蜂将花粉运送到蜂窝之中, 与蜂蜜混合在一起。
  It is then called "bee bread, " for it is the food on which the young bees are brought up.  这就是“蜂粮”, 幼年蜜蜂依靠这些食物发育成长。
  There is never more than one grown-up queen bee in a hive at a time. 蜂窝中不可能存在两只成年蜂后。
  As the summer goes on, and the hive becomes too full, a young queen grows up. 随着夏季的推进, 蜂窝就会变得拥挤不堪, 这时候一只幼年蜂后逐渐发育成熟。
  Then the old queen and a great number of the working bees leave the hive. 这时, 老蜂后就会带领一群工蜂离开这个蜂窝。
  This is called "swarming 8. " 这种现象就是“分蜂(分群)”。
  The swarm 7 of bees often settles on the branch of a tree not far from the hive, 这群蜜蜂通常都会选择一个距离原来的蜂窝不远的树枝,
  and soon they are taken by their owner and put into a new and empty hive. 很快, 它们便会建造一个全新的蜂窝, 开始自己的生活。
