Bees have two pairs of wings, which are attached to their thorax. Each wing is transparent and membranous, with tiny veins that provide structure and support. The wings move rapidly and independently, allowing bees to fly quickly and maneuver easily. When not in use, the wings are folded neatly along the bee's back. Despite their small size, bees are powerful flyers that can cover impressive distances in search of nectar and pollen.
