Les Abeilles Sont Mes Amies!

I love honeybees! As the title of this post says, "the bees are my friends." For a brief moment, nothing will relate to my friends, but we'll come back to them.

Now that the AP test is over, we get to do all sorts of things in biology class. Last week, we dissected some perch one day. I named mine Arthur (which is where I got the name for my friend the mahi-mahi in the dungeon). I like to name the creatures we dissect. My crayfish was named Marcy. Two other days were spent playing charades. It got interesting at times.

Today we went to visit a beekeeper that lives two blocks from the school. It was pretty exciting. I got to hold a drone for a while, and it took quite some time for him to decide to leave me. I didn't give him a name, but I named another girl's drone friend Edgar. The guy knew a ton about bees and taught us a lot. As we were leaving, he let us scoop some honey straight from the comb to eat. It was trés delicieux!

Tomorrow, Mr. Breines is cooking up an invertebrate buffet, Wednesday we're having a mini grill-out, Thursday we're making breakfast, and who knows what we'll end up doing on Friday.

Bees love me, but I don't love them.

Breines cooked us breakfast last year, the last day of school. Apparently his omelettes were good. I stuck to doughnuts.

He made us scrambled eggs, and they were delicious. He cooks really well.
