Detailed explanation-1: -They keep each other warm, and they keep each other cool Bees not only change jobs over the course of the year as they grow from young bees to more experienced ones and the seasons change, they also pinch-hit when necessary.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bees have to find their food in flowers. The food can be nectar or pollen. Nectar is produced to attract the bees. Pollen is also attracting the bees, but it has another function too: it is produced to ensure the next generation of plants.
