Honey Comes from Bees - Story time

My son loves honey and is fascinated by bees. But how exactly do bees make honey? To help him understand, I created story time cards (click to download) featuring realistic images that explain the process and let him experiment different foods with honey.

🐝 Start with the Sweet Stuff!

Kick things off by tasting honey straight from the jar. Let your kiddo get messy—touch it, feel it, describe its sticky texture. Trust me, it's worth the cleanup!

🐝 Buzz Like a Bee

Next, get up close with a bee. Using a magnifier glass observe its wings and make buzzing sounds together. It’s all about engaging those senses.

🐝 Story Time Cards

These super cool story time cards (click to download) show how bees make honey. Each card has a short description on the back. We go through them one by one, talking about what’s happening in each picture. Then piecing together a puzzle!

🐝 Taste Test Extravaganza

After we finish the cards, it’s time to experiment. We tried honey with:

• Yogurt

• Cottage cheese

• Bananas

• Walnuts

• And more!

Sprinkle in some cinnamon for extra fun. Let your child's imagination run wild as they discover how honey changes the flavor of different foods.

🐝 Learn, Play, Taste!

This activity is fantastic for reading, exploring, and tasting. Plus, it’s a great way to bond and learn together. So grab a jar of honey and get buzzing! 🌟
