Our trip to the Honey Farm was brilliant. We took part in 4 different workshops. We dressed up as bees and learnt lots of facts about bees and how they communicate with each other. Then we went to the bee hives and Caroline from the Honey Farm dressed in her bee-keeper clothing so she could take out some of the frames from inside the hive. All the children got to hold the frame through the protective glass, and we were amazed by how heavy the honey was in each frame. Then we had a honey tasting session with Marie. She showed us how to remove the wax caps from each honey cell so  we could taste the fresh honey straight from the hive. We then had 4 different types of honey to taste and used our senses to look, smell and taste the different honey types to see which one we liked the best. We had a picnic lunch in the play area and had some time to play together before the afternoon workshops.

In the afternoon, we learnt about seeds, and we planted them ready to take back to school. We also had a scavenger hunt around the garden. We had to find lots of different plants and animals.
