This morning a group of children and their educators ventured out into the community to view a bee hive that was in the yard of one of our families homes. Preparing for our excursion, the children were given multiple items and we discussed some important safety tips that we would need to keep in mind for our trip.

Upon arrival, we immediately saw the hive and the children did a wonderful job of keeping a safe distance, so not to disturb the bees.
