Last month, our 5th and 6th graders rounded out their year long study of Botany with an incredible 3-day camping trip at the Spikenard Bee Sanctuary. Alex, head beekeper at the sanctuary, provided our students with an enormous amount of hands on learning and interaction with these important pollinators. Our students came home invigorated by all they learned, and full of ideas on how our community can better support and care for the bees! 🐝 #waldorfeducation #savethebees #savetheplanet #outdooreducation #nomowmay #beeeducation #spikenardfarm
