Bees

Gary Jeffries and his son Paul brought a hive to school to talk to Rooms 10and 11 about his bees. Mrs Cumming organised the visit because Sir Edmund Hilary was a beekeeper as well as a mountaineer. I learnt lots of interesting things that I didn't know. The children were very good about standing quietly and not panicking even when a bee landed on them. We got to see a baby bee and the honey cells in the frames. We also got to have a honey sandwich for morning tea.
