Who Loves Honey??

Last term we learnt a lot about bees. 

One thing we learnt was that honey is made by bees, and that they put a lot of work into making it.  It's a bit gross....but did you know that once a bee gets back to the hive with nectar in its mouth, it vomits the nectar into another bee, and that bee vomits it into another bee....and so it goes on until one bee decides it's good to go into the hive.  And then, because the nectar is still a bit to watery, the bees hover above the nectar, flapping their wings so fast that the water is evaporated.  Bees are so very clever.
