The Bee Man Buzzes Into Our Classroom!

Mrs. Phippen’s classroom enjoyed a sweet and exciting visit from Mr. Walker, the Bee Man. Students learned about the roles of the queen, worker, and large-eyed drone bees, and discovered how a beekeeper's smoker safely calms a hive. The hands-on presentation gave everyone a chance to try on heavy, protective beekeeping gear before finishing the day by tasting and labeling their very own take-home jars of fresh Walker Honey.
