Last week we went on a honey harvesting trip. We got to meet with a beekeeper and watch him extract honey from the hives. He had some learning materials available and we had taken a few books out of the library before the trip and read up on bees.
After the trip, we headed back to a family's, in my homeschooling group, to make lip balm with beeswax that was obtained at the beekeepers house. It was a fun project and now each time PW uses his lip balm he talke about bees.
He also talks about the bees whenever we open the honey we purchased as well. PW went from not being fond of bees to yesterday saying "Mom, we should think about having more bees in our yard. It would mean lots of pretty flowers and maybe some honey."
