Autobuzul magic. În stupul de albine

Miss Frizzle’s class turns into bees to explore hive life. The children fly through gardens and gather pollen. They also handle soft wax. They learn how bees make honey. They see how bees build six-sided cells from wax, called honeycomb. They learn how bees guard the hive and feed their young. Bees store food, find their way and share signals. The children see how each bee’s work helps the group.
