Small Animals, Big Work
Ants are small, but they never work alone. Thousands of ants live together deep under the ground. They walk in long lines and carry food home.
Bees work as a team, too. They fly from flower to flower all day. Without bees, many plants cannot make seeds or fruit.
Some people think insects are dirty and want to kill all of them. Scientists do not agree. They say we should understand these small animals and learn from their hard work.
