| Margot Maddock from Lyme N.H. came to share her Beekeeping experiences with us. She brought some of the tools she used and parts of her hive. |

| I got to try on the beekeeping suit! |

Planting our Pollinators Garden. Maggie Stoudnour came to talk to us about the importance of pollinators in our food supply as they supply about thirty percent of our food. She told us for every third bite of food we take, to thank a bee or pollinator. Last spring we were lucky to receive seedlings from The Upper Valley Pollinators group based in Hanover, N.H. We planted them in a nursery bed. This week we transplanted some of the overgrown plants in a larger garden bed next to the playground. |
 |
| It took many hands to transplant our pollinator plants. |

 |
| On Monday we had a pollinated lunch of chicken tacos with fruit on the side. Can you name which foods have not been pollinated by animals? |
 |
| Answer: Chicken and corn tortilla (corn is wind pollinated). Thank you pollinators! |
