Busy Bees
Did you know bumblebees buzz not just when they fly, but also when they pollinate?

Buzzing Hive
We’re abuzz with excitement for this sweet little craft, where kiddos will build their own mini hive using sliced tubes—then add plenty of busy bees to bring it to life.

It’s all about creative freedom, and we’re all for it! This project is a perfect example. Kids can use the patterned paper to make a honeycomb, then either color…
