What a great resource from Kelley's for beekeepers young and old. Even for those just interested in honey bees.

Hi,

Thanks again for all your organizing and transporting.

The second graders have a new recess game. I think it's called bee hive. There was a huge group pretending to be the different types of bees in a hive. It kept them busy for an entire recess.

How awesome that the kids took what I taught them and made their own game out it! - Alex

Four more classrooms, 2 - 1st & 2 - 2nd grades. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 317 students in about a week. Fun, but tiring.

Four more classrooms tomorrow, 3 - 2nd grades and 1 - Kindergarten. Then a little reminder that Sunday I will be at Green Festival Chicago talking about honey bees!

ingentaconnect Honey and Wound Healing: An Overview

This is awesome. Friend of Peace Bees, Moisés Asís of BEES FOR LIFE - World Apitherapy Network/Red Mundial de Apiterapia shared this resource. Legitimate medical research on using honey for wound care. We all know it works, but mainstream medicine is finally coming along.
