The Environmental Club from St. Mary’s Crown Point Community School was recently able to visit with beekeeper Dave Hayse. He spoke to the students about the lives of bees and the importance of bees to the environment. They were able to see the bees in their hive and watch Mr. Hayse spin the honey from the honey comb. The kids were even able to taste the honey and take samples home with them! “The hive looked much different than I thought it would! It was crazy seeing all the bees swarming the hive. I was nervous to get stung, but the bees didn’t even bother us.” said 3rd grader Tatum Adams. “The kids had a great time and are already asking to go back,” said Environmental Club co-sponsor, Brittany LaMere.
