Bee

A bee was a small, winged creature that made a buzzing sound when in flight and stung painfully. Bees had three main body regions: a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. Their heads featured twin feelers, a pair of large eyes and a proboscis. They had two sets of wings that were attached to the thorax; two fore wings and two hind wings. Their abdomen was large, amber-colored with black stripes and ended with a sting. The Human named Han Solo compared the pain of his mending bones after the Millennium Falcon's crash on Kessel to the sting of a bee. The humming of an IT-O interrogation droid was sometimes compared to that of a huge bee. Bees lived in oblong, dome-shaped nests called beehives, which hung from trees. Those flying creatures would bumble their way in the flowers, incidentally helping pollinate the plants that bore them.
