He brought a dead bee so that we could get a very close look at it. He told us we have to be careful because even dead bees can sting.
He also showed us a smoker and explained how it makes the bees sleepy and calm so that the bee-keeper can do their work.
He showed us the honeycomb and explained all about the queen bee and how the drones take care of her. We all got to try on the special hat that protects the bee-keeper from getting stung.
Chris brought us some honey and we all got to try some. We really loved his visit, and the honey! If you would like to order some delicious honey, check their website! Chris said he can even deliver it right to the school!
In the afternoon, Mary from the Green Action Centre came to teach us all about trees and paper. She reminded us that most of the paper we use is made from trees. But did you know that paper can also be made from other things? She showed us paper made from wheat, flower petals, banana leaves and even old jeans!
She encouraged us to reduce the amount of paper we use by using both sides. When we are finished with paper we should recycle it to make new paper!
How can you help our environment and be a friend to the earth?
