Mr Sweney (Honey making)

Mr Sweney came to tell us about how bees
make honey and what it tastes like
fresh. He showed us some dead bees also and
we got to hold them. In this photo  Mr Sweney  is
standing by the honey extractor.He used an electrically
heated knife to take the wax cappings off.He let us
all turn the handle of the extractor. The honey
spins out, hits the side and flows down to the
bottom. The honey tasted pretty good.
