What an unusual occasion – to try honey not from the jar, not from the supermarket, but directly from the beehive just after bees have finished making it. That’s what toddlers participating at a Kids Bee Class run by Jessie from http://beesuptop.co.nz in Victoria Park kindergarten experienced today. They also tried nectar from real flowers – exactly how bees do, and they learned about pollination.
The lecture about pollination was acted out by ladies dressed as beautiful mandarin flowers, and they were visited by the bees. Pollinated flowers became mandarin fruits that students ate with appetite at the end of Classes.
Jessie promised to visit Ngataringa Garden to run this Class for North Shore kids soon.
