Makers of Honey by Sally Wellinger have you ever wondered why honey is sweet but flowers are not? this past month, I decided to investigate and here is what I learned. there are over 3,500 different types of bees in the united states. some bees collect just pollen and others collect both pollen and nectar. the bees that collect both pollen and nec- tar are often called honey bees. Just like us, bees have certain nu- tritional needs to keep them healthy. In fact, they pretty much need the same nutrients we need: protein, carbohydrates (sugar), lipids (fats), vitamins, minerals and water. Pollen is the part of the flower that helps to make new plants. Bees and other pollinators help lifetime, they make less than a plants by moving the pollen from quarter teaspoon of honey. once one flower to another.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE...

Smithtown High School East students enrolled in the leadership class visited with classes at Mills Pond Elementary School on April 15, 2019 as part of a class project. The high school students worked on designing a program to teach to the elementary classes. The leadership students visited a kinder- garten, second grade and two fifth- grade classes, where they worked on activities related to the topic of how to be a leader. The high school students read stories and made crafts during the visit. The goal of their project was to teach the younger students leadership qualities while also having fun.
