Honeybees are social insects that live in hives. Bees have a three body part, 6 legs, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, jointed legs, and a hard exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax, and abdomen. The thorax is the middle part of the bee that is between the head and abdomen. In the thorax is where the two pairs of wings and six legs get support from. Do you know how many wings a bee has? The answer is four. Two wings are attached in the front and two wings are attached in the back of the thorax. The wings are hooked together when the bee flies and they only separate when the bee is at rest. This is why it seems like bees only have two wings when we see them flying around. The thorax supports the six legs by having three legs
