Honey bees have 2 pairs wings. The front wings are larger than the hind wings and the two are synchronized in flight with a row of wing hooks (humuli, singular: humulus) on the hind wing that hitch into a fold on the rear edge of the front wing. When the bee is at rest, the wings separate and fold flat against the thorax.
