Allie's Paper

We went on a field trip to visit a hobbyist bee keeper. There Mr. Loertscher showed us the process of honey. We went outside to his bee hives, and some of us got a really close view. Which means, that we got to wear bee suits. He told us that where the bees store their honey is called frames. Then we went inside. He showed us how to take off the caps of the honey with a hot knife. The hot knife can get up to 200 degrees! After you cut off the caps he put them in a circular thing that spins around really fast, so all the honey goes to the bottom of the big bucket. then he turned it over and did the same thing. After that we got to taste the honey, it was so good!
