Susquehanna Beekeepers Association Visits BR 2nd graders










On Tuesday, October 8, second grade was visited by beekeepers from the Susquehanna Beekeepers Association. Second grade has been studying the interactions of living things; habitats, plants, animals, and humans. Mr. Wood, Mr. Barber, and Mr. Chapin shared with students the importance of bees in our world. They also shared what it is like to be a beekeeper. They brought in many of the tools they use and even showed a live bee colony. Students acted out the activities of bees in a colony, were able to ask many questions, and got to taste honey. Luciano Shea from Mrs. Hepler’s class shared a report that he had written about bees and Mr. Wood, Mr. Barber, and Mr. Chapin plan to feature it in their next newsletter. Thank you to the Susquehanna Beekeepers Association for their 14th visit to Blue Ridge.
