Busy Bees in Spanish Oaks Kindergarten

This week our busy Kindergarten students got a chance to meet and visit with a Bee Keeper.  Mr. Jonathan Baird brought a real working honey bee hive into our classroom and the students got to see first-hand how the bees are busy making honey inside their hive.  We learned how the bees work continuously all year long to make the honey that we love to eat.  We also learned that Mr. Baird's bees travel to California to help pollinate the almond trees in the winter, then come back to Utah for the summer to help our local fruit trees.  Two lucky students got to try on a bee suit to see what it feels like to be all covered up to help prevent bee stings while working with bees.  Then we ALL got to taste some delicious honey from Mr. Baird's hives.  We all thought it was yummy!
