Our science class has been rather buggy lately. We're studying insects, which has been fun for most of us, although one of the girls in the class when listing 3 insect characteristics, put down-
1. ugly
2. creepy
3. sneaky
I was actually looking for stuff like...invertebrate, 6 legs, etc.
Yesterday we had a day in the bee yard with James and the kids were able to observe the bees up close without being stung. James erected a screen tent next to the hives and with his assistant Elijah (perfect grandson), showed the kids how bees live.
It was exciting and scary....what kid doesn't love that?!

Do you have bees in your yard or did you go somewhere?

We have 6 hives in our yard next to our wanna be fruit tree orchard.
I would be the one in the tent - brave grandson you got!
That is so awesome!
We heard the other day that the overall bee population is dying out.
If you have seen the Bee Movie - you know what bad news that could be.
I hadn't heard that but evidently a lady I know had to pollenate some of her garden by hand last year.
Very fun and the tent is a great idea.
