Day Seven summer school


Today we had a visitor, local beekeeper, Ms. B. came with all of her equipment to teach us about beekeeping.

Everyone got to take a turn trying on the special hat and gloves. Then we all got to turn the crank used to separate the honey. She passed around the box parts for us to see, but the bees had to stay at home today.

Then it was onto the bus for a field trip to the local Demonstration Garden maintained by the local master gardeners.

We saw special equipment used to hoe the great big beds that they maintain. Students enjoyed the wide variety of crops and saw some more of those beetles that have been bothering our school garden also.

No time for journaling or weather today. Tomorrow is our last class. How the time has flown.
