在每个蜂巢里面都有三种蜜蜂:蜂后、工蜂和雄蜂 。
The queen bee lays all the eggs.
蜂后产卵 。
The workers bring the juices from flowers to make the honey.
工蜂收集花朵的汁液酿蜜 。
And the drones, who are the lazy bees, do almost nothing but eat and sleep.

"In each beehive there is only one queen, but sometimes a new queen is hatched while the old one is still living.
每个蜂巢里只有一个蜂后,有的时候一个新的蜂后孵化出来了,但老的蜂后还活着 。
"Now the old queen is afraid that the bees new queen better than they like will like the her.
这个时候,老蜂后害怕蜜蜂们对新蜂后的喜欢会超过她,
So almost always she goes away to make a new home.
所以她往往会选择出走,再建造一个新家 。
Many of the bees go with her. If too many bees leave at this time, there are not enough left to do the work in the old hive.
当然,许多蜜蜂都会跟随她 。如果许多蜜蜂都和她一起离开了,那么就没有足够的蜜蜂留下来在老的蜂巢里劳作 。
