Did you know that a bee has five eyes? Or that they have a special tongue that is shaped like a straw? Bees are fascinating creatures and we are dependant on them for 30% of the food we eat. Find out about what a bee looks like under a microscope, how they make honey, and why we need bees in our gardens in this hour long guided adventure.

Explore plants from top to bottom in this active hour long guided adventure. We will investigate the parts of a plant from a pre-schooler's point of view, and discover what plants need to live. We will hunt around the garden and dig up a plant to examine. We will even make a living seed necklace to take home!
