Kindergarten students had a visit  this past week from Mr. John Baird a local bee keeper.Mr. Baird shared with students how a bee keeper prepares a hive for the bees to live in.  Next,  he taught them what the honey bees must do to prepare the hive to house the honey they produce.   Then, he then showed the process of extracting the honey from the hive and how he and his family prepare the honey to be sold to his customers.   Mr. Baird also had a super cool display of about 1,000 live honey bees!!  The display lets students see what the inside of a real hive would look like.    It was so fun to see the bees moving around inside the display and hear their buzzing sounds.   At the end of his visit students all got to taste some of the delicious honey from one of his beehives.   We loved learning more about honey bees!
