Why are bees so important?The first and second grade students were buzzing around the Walden school yard on Friday, September 21st looking for the last evidence of summer. Pollen! With a Q-tip in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other, these bees gathered pollen and learned first hand how bees travel from flower to flower before heading back to the hive to continue the honey making process. Later, inside the classroom using cotton balls and colored chalk, we simulated cross pollination while enjoying the organized chaos of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee. What a great way to officially end the season of Summer!
