<p>Listening:1b/清汉第二册滚动</p><p>Watching:cat in hat</p><p>Reading:玩了一整天，没时间看书😂</p><p><br></p> <p>Today is Sunday, a bright sunny day, we will go to a apiary /ˈeɪpieri/, where the beekeeper feed lots of honeybees, are you excited?</p><p>Let’s pack things that you need during this visit. The apiary is far away from here,so we need to drive there ~~</p><p>一路上在修路，一路普及工程车，终于分清了挖掘机跟反铲推土机的区别😂</p><p>We are finally arrived, here it is, the apiary, so many honey bees and beehives. Be careful, do not get too close to watch, bees are generally harmless, but they can sting you if disturbed. Like other bees, their stingers have venom /ˈvenəm/(毒液）</p><p>其实今天看到是家养蜂箱，因为找不到养蜂场～～</p> <p>（2）认识蜜蜂</p><p>How bees see a dandelion (left) compared to how we see a dandelion (right).Bees are insects. they have three parts of body, head, thorax, abdomen. Six legs, a pair of wings and two antennae. What else does a bee have? can you guess? A stinger. Many people are scared of them because the stinger.In fact, they are very nice, they do not sting people unless they are disturbed.</p><p>之前普及的知识，今天没来得及复习，不知道是否安多小朋友还能否记住～～</p> <p>（3） Where do bees live---Beehive</p><p>Honey bees are highly social insects. Many bees live in a beehive. Natural beehives (or "nests") are made by honey bee colonies, while domesticated honey bees are kept in man-made beehives. The beehives made by people are usually the things referred to by the word "beehive." Natural beehives V.S. man-made beehivesA beehive is a large box with a row of s inside. The bees build honeycombs on the s. Honeycombs have hexagonal cells, where bees lay eggs, raise their young and store pollen and honey. Each hexagonal cell tessellates /'tɛsɪlɪt/ 完全嵌合 with the rest.</p> <p>(4) Who lives in the beehive?</p><p><br></p><p>—Types of bees</p><p><br></p><p>There are queens, drones and workers.</p><p><br></p><p>The queens and workers are female, the drones are male.</p><p><br></p><p>All the bees in the hive come from eggs laid by the queen.</p><p><br></p><p>the queen(who lays eggs). The queen’s one and only job is to lay eggs. In fact, she spends most of her life inside the hive, lying around. In the springtime, she lays 1500 to 2000 eggs a day.</p><p><br></p><p>workers-females who gather food, make honey, build the six-sided honeycomb, tend eggs, and guard the hive. The workers probably have the best, but hardest, job. They work together to build cells for the baby bees. They take care of the babies and keep the hive clean and tidy. Worker bees also gather pollen and turn it into honey. The honey feeds the baby bees and also feeds the bees over the winter. Both the workers and the queen are female.</p><p><br></p><p>drones-males whose main duty is to find and mate with a queen.</p> <p>(5) About Beekeepers</p><p><br></p><p>1) What kind of equipment do beekeepers need?</p><p><br></p><p>A bee suit to keep clothes clean, also wear a veil over the head to protect my eyes and head from stings.</p><p><br></p><p>2) How to collect the honey?</p><p><br></p><p>They use a smoker to calm the bees, when they blow smoke on bees, they think it is a forest fire. They fill their stomachs with honey in case they have to leave their tree. That is why smoke seems to calm them, because it keeps them busy.</p><p><br></p><p>(3) How much honey do beekeepers get from one beehive?</p><p><br></p><p>Between 60 and 350 pounds(25-179kg) of honey a year, depending on the location and how hardworking the bees are.</p> <p>(4) How do beekeepers get the honey out of the comb?摇蜜机（离心机）</p><p><br></p><p>A wax cap seals the honeycomb.</p><p><br></p><p>they have to cut off the capping and then put the into a machine that spins around. This makes the honey fly out of the cells. Then they give the comb back to the bees, and bees fill it up again. After the honey comes out, keepers heat it to thin it. Then filter out the wax and put the honey in jars.</p> <p>安多妈被蜜蜂蛰了一下，到现在还在痛😂安多很勇敢帮我把stinger拔出来了～～</p><p>后来一直在野外玩，好开心的一天～～</p>
