Kind of a homeschooling morning. Maggie was contemplating a little card with the letter Z on it just now and she looked up and asked me, "Do numbers end?"
Also, she was watching me put honey on her toast and she asked me how bees make honey. We looked it up and found out that honeybees have two stomachs, one for nectar called the honey stomach and another regular stomach. One kind of bee collects nectar and another kind masticates it until it is converted into simple sugar. Then it is spread out to dry and the bees sit there and fan it with their wings until it is thick. Then they pour it into an honeycomb and seal it off with wax. Then we looked at pictures of bee larvae and bee eyes.
We'll have to make a trip to a bee farm this summer.
