Kids Learn Why Bees Are Awesome | National Geographic

honey bees are our most efficient and
effective pollinators so they pollinate
lots of fruits and vegetables we’ve
invited a classroom full of BC kids to
come down here and put on the bee veil
and a bee suit for protection we’ll open
up beehives and get them into the hive
like a beekeeper I was like nervous I
thought that it was like ah today my the
next time we go we could not be afraid a
lot of kids are afraid of bees and one
of the things we want these kids to
understand is that bees are immensely
valuable parts of the ecosystem they
help produce the food we eat and they’re
like they when they’re like moving
they’re like not straight around very
committee in function we bring an
observation hive to the classroom
program you get the oohs and the ahhs
from all the kids they can see the
activity of the honeybees crawling
around on the comb they can find the
Queen which we have usually marked you
see the shiny nectar a couple of years
after the first lady mrs. Obama
established a vegetable garden on the
South Lawn of the White House she
decided to establish a pollinator garden
as well and to set up a honey bee hive
the birds although we can attract it to
Barnes
I think honeybees make a great vehicle
to open young eyes that what’s happening
in nature is not just random chaos that
there’s beauty and order to it and I
think this little creature creates a
great opportunity to have children see
that
