Our volunteers have learned three fun facts about bees from the specialized Beekeeper, Yvonne, on Sunday’s program.
1. Bees are very clean.
2. Bees are complex.
3. Bees are social.
Yvonne also taught that when a worker bee discovers a good source of nectar or pollen (note the pollen spores dusting this bee’s back), she will return to the hive to perform a dance to let her nestmates know where the source is.
Under Yvonne’s supervision, all volunteers visited the beehive and stayed with the bees for over 60 seconds. She showed us how to use smoke to calm the bees before and during the visit to the beehive. Some of the volunteers even had a chance to taste raw honey.

Then, break into five groups:
