Honeybees are our most efficient and effective pollinators, and they pollinate lots of fruits and vegetables. We've invited a classroom full of DC kids to come down here and put on the bee veil and the bee suit for protection. We'll open up beehives and get them into the hive like a beekeeper.
Bees are vital to the world's food supply. To educate schoolchildren about the importance of honeybees, the Sweet Virginia Foundation is using a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on experience. The kids get up close and personal with the insects, donning beekeeper suits and actually interacting with a buzzing hive.
