For reading I read ‘A sweet business” and it talks about bees, honey, how honey works and yeah. I learned that there is this bug call ‘Varroa Mites‘ that feed on bee laver, they leave a tiny hole in the bees skin that can get a virus easly and that can sperad easly and I also learned that honey can’t expire.
A guy name Martin reminded the kids that bee-keeping has an ongoing cost, the hives need protection from the varroa mites and know how they could harm the bees. And thats what I learn, I learn a lot of new things, and the school is Te Aro school in wellington! Martin said that they could have there own beehives but as long as they take care of it. All of the stuff you need to set up to have a beehive costs around five hundred dollars. Martin was eager to help the kids to get there own beehive so he helped them think about how they could get the stuff for the bee hive knowing its very expensive when buying it.
For the bees they eat stuff to, what the bees eat it kind of suprising because they eat ‘sugar syrup’. So this is what I have learned about reading my book call A sweet business, I really like the book becuase of how it explans how bees work and how they thinked about how they would pay for all the things they needed.
