The bee saw the bear and flew at him, stung him sharply and then disappeared into the log.
The bear lost his temper and instantly sprang upon the log, with his tooth and claw, to destroy the nest. But this brought out the whole swarm. The poor bear was unable to bear it, and was able to save himself only by diving into a pool of water.

Bees collected loads of sweets from a _______.

A comet is an icy small solar system body made up of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. It is no larger than few kilometers across. The main structure of a comet is know as nucleus. Comets are composed primarily of many varieties of ice including water, methane and other gases.
Comets usually orbit the sun. While planets have a circular orbit, comets' orbits are usually very elliptical. As a comet moves closer to the Sun, the ices begin to fizz. The closest point in its orbit to the Sun is known as “perihelion” and the farthest one is known as “aphelion”. Comets are not any kind of spaceship or alien base. They are bits of solar system material.
