Bees are buzzing!

Did you know that all the worker bees in a nest are girls?
Do you know what happens when there are two queens in a hive?
Do you know if there be too many bees?
Do you know if a stinger on the nose or the back?
Do you know how much money one bee can make?
Did you know bees have "nectar pockets?" (or pollen baskets...)
Do you know the difference between a hive and a nest?

Birch room is Bee Smart. 
As we deepen our study, what we know and learn grows too. 
Earlier this week, Ms. Nicki brought in all the bee things from her childhood neighbor's hive. The honeycomb and hive traveled all the way from Iowa. 
The honey was made from the flowers in her old backyard!




As we study more questions are asked. More questions for us to search for answers!

How do you get the honey out of the hive?
How do you find the queen?
What does the smoke do?
Do all the bees sting?
What kind of bees make honey?
Does honey always taste the same?

I wonder how we can find the answers...
