Our Visit with a Beekeeper

Today a beekeeper, Mr. Jones, came to our school to teach us all about honeybees. We learned all about bees. We learned how they pollinate flowers. We learned about their enemies. Did you know that skunks eat bees? Wasps are also enemies to bees. We learned that wasps and bees are very different. We investigated different hives, honeycomb and bees. We learned that every year the Queen bee gets painted. This year, she has a green dot. We tried on the beekeeper suit. We even tried different kinds of honey. At the end of the presentation we learned how bees communicate with each other. We pretended that we were bees and we did the bee dance. Mr. Jones hid a bag of jelly beans and we had to watch our friends do the bee dance so that we could figure out where the jellybeans were.
