Science and Technology Fair at Montgomery Elementary

On Thursday night, I ran a booth at the fair about bees - the kids loved trying on the bee hat when they stopped by my demonstration. I had honey for them to taste and a board showing how the bees raise their young in a frame. This is my second year as a part of this science fair. I think the kids all had a good time.

Science Night at Montgomery Elementary

Tonight was Science and Technology night at Montgomery Elementary School in Atlanta. I was asked to be the beekeeper and talk about the bees. Somehow I managed to get away without a photo of my display - I took a blue nuc box, frames of wax in process and completely drawn, honey to taste, lip balm, beeswax, candles, children's books about bees and a slide show loop about inspecting a bee hive that I put together for the short course this Saturday.

I did get some cute pictures of the kids who tried on my grandson's bee veil - they thought it was just the bees knees to get to try it on (and one mother). Actually several of the parents wanted to try on the veil and asked great questions. The kids mostly wanted to taste the honey!

I had a great time. Enjoy the adorable kid pictures below.
