Alexander's Journal

In class this morning we learned about the dance bees do to find the bestest flowers around. We spent all morning with Miss. Lilac and she told us why bees are really really important in our town and taught us how to wiggle just like them. And I painted a picture of the field beside my house with lots of bees and flowers in it and me playing with them and not even getting stung. I ran home to get to lunch and I had goat’s cheese and bee honey on bread with my favorite mango juice. When I go back to school we get to go out to some field and see where the bees really live and how to take care of them with your own garden. Miss Lilac said if I still really like the bees next year I can start taking care of them and learning more about insects in our garden single every week! Mum just said the May Fest and Newton parade are in two days, I get to help pick the flowers and decorate our costumes. I think I will dress up as a bumblebee this year. I can’t wait for the gypsies to come back in their caravan and eat sugared limes. I have to practice my bee wiggle so I can dance with all of the hives when I get back.
