Purr-haps you'd like a new way to get your claws on science questions sent in by kids like you. That's litter-ally my favorite thing.

Today Cosmo and I tackle a question from Gabby, 9, in Kansas: Why do bees make honey?

You'll hear:

• What a bee proboscis is and why bees are so adorably hairy
• Why some people call honey "bee barf" and what trophollaxis is 
• How bees make foods like bee bread and honey

Resources you can use:

• Check out these baby bees
• Learn how to make homes for native bees (they're like cousins to honey bees)
• Read the answer to this question here: Why do bees make honey?
