What do you know about bees Year Two?

 





Year Two are kaitiaki for our Waka Bees. Today we visited the bees and then thought about what we already knew about these mighty creatures:

Isabelle - bees like flowers

Leleya - they put the honey onto their legs

Evelyn - they know honey

Nala - when they sting half their body comes out

Collins - bees don't actually want to sting you

Willow - when you touch the stinger it comes off and the bee dies

Henry- bees take nectar back to the hive to feed to the babies

Archer - bees like trees

Lauchlan - bees look at flowers differently to us

Randidu - bees follow the queen bee

Cooper - the sting is poisonous

Dakota - they keep lots of honey in their hive

Riley - baby bees stay in their hive until they get born

Acacia - bees store honey in their hives for winter

Johnnie - wasps kill bees

Ryder - bees are predators

Celine - Bees build hives

Diamond - bees make honey

Brynn - they get the honey from their antenna

Elora - they have a process called pollination

Ruben - their bodies make the honey inside

Elle - bees make honey from flowers.  They suck it up in their mouths and take it back to the hive.




Afterward, we learned about the bee life cycle.

Rooms 8 & 11 took action to look after our bees by, filling up the Bird & Bee Bath in the Senses Garden.
