Bees for kids

 

Busy bee, busy bee, where are you going?
Down where the flowers are budding and growing,
There I shall find something hidden and sweet
That all the children are wanting to eat.

Easter Bees to make and bake and buy

Some ideas for all you bee lovers that incorporate bees and Easter - especially if you ascribe to the view that Easter is about new life and spring I think bees should be in there with the bunnies, eggs and chicks, don't you?

Isn't this a beautiful decorated egg from Idora Designs where she explains how she painted it.

Don't forget my old favourite for taking along to schooleaster egg parades...with instructions on how to make it.

 

 

Little Bee Box with Easter Egg & Chococlates

 

 

 

I know this is a wedding cake topper but thought I could modify it for an Easter cake.

 

 What better and healthier Easter gift could there bee than a jar of honey with a label made like the above card from zazzle.

Easter to you!

Kid's learning about bees

Learning all about bees, why they are important and how they fit into nature and how they help humans. The above photo is Ron Breland teaching the kids and at right is his experimental hive. This is at the private Rockland Country Day School in Congers, near Manhattan. Ron teaches apiculture (bee keeping) to children from nursery to secondary school. “It’s extraordinary, just using my type of hive and smoking them with sage, I can open a hive without any danger to the kindergarten pupils. The bees raised like that are so much gentler and we practically never have any stings.”
Do you want more resources for teaching young children about bees? Here they are:
Explaining bees to children
Basic bee information
Teaching the parts of the bee
Watching Bees
Plants to bring bees to the garden
How do bees cling to flowers?
What do honey bees do in Autumn?

PHOTO and info thanks to The Bee Photographer: is is well worth a visit to his amazing site.
