Conversation lesson: Bees

Students: Moumin Spot, Atacan, Queen Lyric, Nese, Lazkopat, Tugce5504 Coy, ShuriyeFinchy, Zihnican Hurricane (Asia, Europe)

Teacher: Donatella Benoir (USA)

We met in the park. There was a tree without leaves with a beehive (a box where bees live and honey can be collected)

Honey is made by bees. They collect pollen ( a powder that is produced by flowers) and store it in honey comb (a wax structure where bees keep the honey)

Tugce5504 talked about people who keep bees and make their living in this way. It can be quite difficult but rewarding.

 [11:18] Tugce5504 Coy: beekeeping is daily bread for some people

Donatela showed us a nursery rhyme about a baby bumblebee

Here are the lyrics.

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,

Won't my mommy be so proud of me,

I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee,

Ouch! It stung me!

I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee,

Won't my mommy be so proud of me,

I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee,

Ooh! It's yucky!

I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,

Won't my mommy be so proud of me,

I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee,

Now my mommy won't be mad at me!

New words

Squashy – soft and easy to crush

Wiping off – to remove something from somewhere

I liked the talk about bees and their keepers. It was very interesting.
