[Field Trip] All About Bees!

We took a field trip yesterday for homeschooling families to learn about beekeeping. It was wonderful for the children to learn and see how the bees work together, how bees are responsible for 1/3 of the food we have, what foods they help pollinate, and the sweet story of honey!

The children got to roll their own wax candles at the end.




Picnic at the park. A few bees even buzzed by to see if we had anything to offer and nobody freaked out. Imagine that!
