Honeybee Center

Today was our fieldtrip to the Honeybee Center.  We were all very excited!  We got on the bus and it was only supposed to be a short ride. Unfortunately, there was some construction and we were detoured a couple times and stuck in traffic for a little while. But we made it to the Honeybee Center and had a great time.  The first thing our group did was learn about insects. (We already knew a lot because we had been learning about insects in class).
 We learned the difference between insects and arachnids.
Building an insect.
Touching a cockroach.
Exploring in the insect house.
Insects around the world.
After learning about insects we met with the rest of the group and learned about honeybees and how they make honey.
 Honeycomb Challenge! Which group could make the most honeycomb cells.
 Tasting the sweet honeycomb.
 Bee Keepers!
We had such a fun morning at the Honeybee Center!
