We are learning about Bees

We have been learning about bees and to help us with this we had a visit from Mrs Stichbury who is a Beekeeper.  We had some questions that we wanted to ask her.

How many bee hives do you have?
What are hives made out of?
How many Queen Bees are in a hive?
How do Bees back to their hive?
How far do they Fly?
How much honey can one Bee make?
Is there a 'King' Bee?
How many bees are in one hive?
These were just a few of the questions that we asked.

The hive is built in stages.

We learnt that another name for a Beekeeper is an 'Aparist'.
