The Sweet Life of a Queen Bee

Description

Who is the mother of the hive? Buzz on in and learn about the queen honeybee and her court. She may have as many as 20,000 attendants catering to her needs, and she can lay up to 1,500 eggs each day! Visit our honeybee hives on the farm and find out how bees pollinate and make honey. Plant your own flower seeds in a cup to take home, where you can watch them to turn into blooms for the queen's ladies-in-waiting to visit. Then, get a sweet appreciation for their hard work by enjoying a honey-flavored snack.
