Buzz About Bees: A Bee's Importance to Environment

Children learn about bees and nature at Pinefarms Orchard 

Montessori students enjoyed a trip to Pinefarms Orchard in King City, earlier this month.

The children participated in the Busy Bee Program, which included a guided nature walk through the orchard, flower garden and woodland trails, as well as spring-time farm care -- from fertilization, pruning of trees, to planting.

The Busy Bee Program also features discussions about the farm’s location on the Oak Ridges Moraine; seed colour and shapes; and the importance of honey bees and their value to the orchard and environment as a whole.
