Bee Keeper


Bee Keepers (Jack & Mrs. King)
Worker Bees

Our Second Grade Classes
On Wednesday, September 28, Mrs. Kari King visited our classroom. Mrs. King is a Bee Keeper. She shared her knowledge of caring for Honeybees. We saw the equipment she uses and learned all the jobs that are necessary to take care of the bees. A bonus was that Mrs. King brought in some fresh honey for us to sample. It was really fresh and tasted very good! She also brought in some soap and candles that she had made from the bees' wax.
