BEE Nice

Kaitlyn and I went with Rachael and her class to the Honeybee Centre where they learned all about bees. They even got to see them up close and personal. Don't worry, there's glass between them and the beekeeper and, more importantly, the bees! They got to taste some honeycomb and "royal jelly" that bees make only for the queen. After learning all about bees they got to plant a sunflower.
They were going to paint the flower pots there, but we ran out of time because the paint would have still been wet getting on the bus. So they decorated them in the classroom.
They had lots of fun, and even got to sample some honey from different flowers. We tried blackberry honey and it was yummy!
