How Rainbow is Formed?Rainbow is one of optic phenomena that happens in the

atmosphere of the earth naturally. We can see it at mountin range, or when it is cloudy, or when it is raining and rising of sun. We can see it perfectly, if it is seen by standing in the high place. It is real that rainbow is a circle form not like parabola form. When we are looking at rainbow’s colors, we will see them that ordered of red is on the highest order, and purple is on the lowest order.

Red is more dominant than another color caused by having biggest wave between others. Therefore the red one is in the highest order and purple one is in lowest order. How rainbow is formed? Try to watch it when light of sun concerns a 90-degree angle mirror or a glass prism side, or surface of soap foam. We can see colors on the light. The light is rayyed to be some wave lenght of light that it is seen by our eyes as red, bright red, yellow, green, blue and purple. These colors are components of light that they are called visible light. The other component is invisible light such as infrared (red is in the right side), and ultraviolet (bright red is in the left side).

So, we can see the beautiful rainbow because there are some processes to be beautiful rainbow that it appears in the sky.

How Do Bees Make Honey?Bees are useful insects. There are about 20,000

kinds  of  bees, but only honey bees  make honey. Honey bees live in groups called colonies. Each colony has one female queen bee, ten of thousands or workers , and a few hundred  male bees or drones. Honey bees lives in hives. Inside their hive, the bees make a honey comb of wax. The honey comb is a kind of bee apartment building full of six –sided room s in which the bees raises young and store food.

The queen bee lays thousands of eggs. Worms look like larvae hatch from eggs. Each larva becomes a pupa, which looks partly like larva and partly like an adult bee. Worker bees feed the young , clean, guard the hive, and fly to and from flowers. They collect tiny grains of pollen and a sweet liquid called nectar for food. The pollen is food for young bees. Worker bees use the nectar to make honey. Without bees bringing pollen from flower to  flower, many plants can’t make seeds.
