It was so very interesting to watch plus learn about these fascinating bees.
One of the things I really and truly loved about our school growing up was the fact that they constantly were having field trips to a local farm. These field trips were often educational, but some were just for funsies. I remember going to the zoo more than 2 times, as well as other entirely nice reading locations. One of the other educational 1s I went to that sticks out was visiting a honey farm. The honeybee farm field trip was to help educate us on honey bee help. It was in our geometry class that took us there, plus the lesson they wanted to teach us was instead of killing the poor little innocent honey bees who rarely harmed people, it was much kinder to get bee removal by beekeepers. The beekeeping people would take the bees to a honey bee rescue location where they would be used to make honey. Honey bee numbers are declining fast, plus it is genuinely important to preserve them as much as possible, plus not kill them. It was so very interesting to watch plus learn about these fascinating bees. The bee people also talked about other bees such as bumble bees. At the end of the lesson all of us were allowed to take a little popsicle stick dipped in honey house with us, which was quite a wonderful treat, especially since I rarely had honey as a child. That field trip still sticks out to myself and the other folks all these years later plus now whenever I see a honey bee buzzing by, it summons that memory. Hopefully those bee rescues are successful in their attempts to finally bring the bees back.
