Janet Brown gave us a wonderful presentation on bee keeping at Peck's Farm Market East.

The students asked a lot of great questions.

Janet explained how many bees, how many trips, and how many flowers it took to make the honey that filled that pint jar.

Thank you Janet for taking the time to teach us about the importance of honey bees!
