| In battle, it flaps its wings at high speed to release highly toxic dust into the air. |
Its wings, covered with poisonous powders, repel water. This allows it to fly in the rain. |
It collects honey every day. It rubs honey onto the hairs on its legs to carry it back to its nest. |
Water-repellent powder on its wings enables it to collect honey, even in the heav- iest of rains. |
It flits from flower to flower, collecting honey. It can even identify distant flowers in bloom. |
