On Wednesday afternoon, the children in the gardening club at the Gainesville Exploration Academy learned all about the honeybee. In her second year as the head of the club, Amanda Castaneda led the kids through a tutorial on how honeybees make honey and the benefits they bring to the environment, such as pollination. The honeybees for the lesson weren’t alive.
