Learning about Bees

Last Friday, the class learned about bees from Felix's mom, whose family farm has some hives. Highlights were looking at honeycombs, examining a smoker that they use to calm the bees, trying on beekeeping clothes and learning that bees dance to communicate. Students were also happy to sample some homemade honey on fresh bread.
