The Bees at Work!

Today there was  a buzzing in the ivy above our heads. We looked and were amazed with the bees at work.  They liked the sunny areas of the plant and flew in and out of the small flowers on the ivy. 

Tayla, Jorja, and Addisyn spotted  them while playing in the sandpit. We became concerned if they decided to come close to the children but when having a conversation with the children they said,

"You just stand still if a bee comes near you.  I love honey!"

"Bees are precious, we need bees!"

"If the bees die we won't have any honey or food!"

Liz continued to discuss the  pollinating and good for all plants and Regan asked for her to tell him  again as he wanted to share it with his Mum.

Aria said,  "Bees go on a daisy and suck up all the  honey then they they got to make honey!"  and  "We'd have to eat grass or leaves if we didn't have bees."

Communicating with clarity/Mārama and sharing their theories to help us make the decision to trim  up the ivy to ensure the bees were able to keep working while we played nearby. 

Tino pai tamariki!
