Ten Busy Bees aged 2-12 had five fun-filled evenings at the hive June 15-19th during Vacation Bible School (VBS). They learned how they, like bees, can Belong, Be Brave, Be Kind, Be You, and Be Loved. Each night, families and volunteers shared supper. Following supper, the Bees were busy learning about honey bees and native bees, doing science experiments, making native bee houses, learning the Waggle Dance, planting pollinator-friendly plants, and creating artwork.
Many thanks to: Tricia Morris and Michelle Mosnier for months of planning to create this original program; Hilary, Sally and Elizabeth Po***ck for leading the science activities each night; Judy Foote, Joanna Miller, Franny Subang and Eva Schwartz on the clean-up crew; Judy, Tricia, Michelle and Katie O’Kelly for meal prep; Judy and Roberta Franklin for helping out around the hive; Janet Matranga for baking delicious desserts; Virgina and Marianne Clemmens for designing and printing fantastic T-shirts; Samantha Jones for serving as our Queen Bee and for making the slide show for the final evening; Tricia for organizing the crocheters who produced a worker bee for every child to take home.
Thanks to Robyn Cox, Tim Hawkins, Samantha Jones, Tricia Morris, and Maria for their crochet creativity!
