Honey: Summer’s Golden Sweetness

When the warm spring sunshine brings out the flowers, the honeybees begin to buzz. The worker bees fly among the blossoms, collecting nectar and pollen. The queen bee stays in the hive and lays eggs so more bees will hatch. All summer long, the bees produce sweet, sticky honey and store it in the hives.
Kelsie and Alan suit up in baggy white suits and go with dad to cheque the hives. They smoke the bees and look at the supers in the hives. Near the end of the summer, they collect the honey. They enjoy its sweetness – and they learn that there is something even sweeter than honey.
