The Sweet Life of a Queen Bee

Description

Who is the ruler 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 working honeybee hives on the farm and find out how bees pollinate flowers and make honey. Plant your own flower seeds in a cup to take home, where you can watch them grow into blooms for the queen's ladies-in-waiting to visit. Finish with a honey-flavored snack made possible by all that incredible effort.
