A Visit from the Home School Group

Anna's home school group visited yesterday for a "beekeeping day".  We extracted a tray of honey, taught the kids a little about hive components and bee behavior, and making lip balm from beeswax.  The kids were divided into 3 groups and they rotated sessions every 15 minutes or so.  At the end, we enjoyed the fruits of our labor with each child going home with a honey bear filled with honey and a lip balm.  Also feasted on biscuits and fresh honey.  Our friends, Bob & Juanita Schultz were visiting from Sacramento so it made the day even more special.

We had SO much fun coming for a visit! My kids have been looking for excuses to eat the honey they got. This morning they all wanted peanut butter and honey sandwiches for breakfast. Thanks so much for the work you put into making it a fun and educational day- Kristen Bissontz + 4 kids
