Year 2 Look at how bees make honey and more ...

 We looked at how Bees make honey, then we acted it out in small groups.




1. First they drink the nectar
2. Then they carry it in their tummies (they have two tummies!)
3. Then they throw up into each other's mouths
4. Then they spit into the honeycomb
5. Then they work together to fan the honey
6. Lastly they seal it up.


We also were very lucky to sample some our very own honey from our Waka bees!












Afterwards, we explored how bees bodies are especially designed for collecting nectar and moving pollen. Can you name the parts of a bee's body?
