Our county offered and *Introduction to Bee Keeping for Kids* and I immediately emailed and asked if older kids could come (like me!!) And they said yes - just to know that there would be kids there.
I am okay with kids - most of them like me ... sort of... I speak their language haha
It was a great day!
They showed us all the gear and explained how the Bee houses work. She showed how they harvest the honey. And talked about our weather concerns - Cold and high winds- and explained the Queen Bees.
It was pretty cool - after that she showed us how to make candles with the bees wax. She makes a lot of other things as well.
And the kids seemed to be okay with a few extra adults around. 😉
I thought the class would go all day, and it was only about 1/2 day.....
You know what that meant right? I could finished my Scrappy Stars!!! I mean, I had already scheduled the time off.... yay!!
Got it all finished and took the pups to go take the photos... Remember those winds I talked about during the Bee Class... they showed up!
Finally it slowed for a moment - and the girls showed up to pose!!
The other nice thing? My son came home and he cooked - Lasagna... I think I will keep him!
Do any of you keep bees? We were told the best time to get them and get started is Spring - so I have some time to research, but I know where I want them: In the trees, and then I want to plant more flowers around where I will put them. But I would love to learn more!
