Felix's Uncle Raymond visited our school on the 7th of May, to talk to us about bees. Raymond looks after bees and he has written a book about bees. He told us very interesting things about bees. We found out that bees die after they sting something. We found out that honey is kept fresh in the hive because the bees put wax all around it to store it away. We enjoyed finding out that the bees can be guards of their hive and they can kick wasps away. Also, we learnt that the girl bees kick the boy bees out of the hive near winter time, so the girls bees can share enough food for the baby bees in the hive. Raymond showed us the clothes he needs to wear when he works with the bees. He showed us his bee smoke canister to help the bees to not sting him, when he gets close to their hive. Raymond is an expert on bees and we asked him lots of interesting questions.
