Busy Bee!

Today, Mae's class took a field trip to Buckwheat Farms where the kids got a great lesson about bees! Mae's teacher got to be the Queen Bee while her classmates took on different roles within the hive. Mae was a field bee who was supposed to go out and collect pollen (colored ping pong balls), return to the hive (a rope circle) and hand it over to the queen. Mae had so much fun that after everyone had a turn, she went and collected all the remaining pollen balls!



While we were there, we got to check out some farm animals, an active honey comb and a little persons' maze. I know, I was thinking another maze -- but this one was perfect for Mae and she had such a fantastic time, she didn't want to leave! Who knew snowfencing could be so fun???
