        The third kind of "buu" is the "buu" that produces wax. (i.e. the bee). These "buus" are very small, but they are plenty. These little "buus" produce the wax in a tree. When we chop the tree where the wax is, the little "buus" swarm around our legs and our bodies. All these "buus" eat at a single place. They drink from the flowers where they are eating.
