The Bee Box that Jack Built

Welcome to the story of the bee box that Jack built! Let’s learn about the busy bees and all the wonderful things they do.

The Bee Box

This is the bee box. It’s made of painted wood and sits in the shade of the yard. Inside, there are many honeybees buzzing around.

The Busy Bees

The honeybees fly in and out of the bee box. They visit colorful flowers to collect sweet nectar. This nectar feeds the queen bee and all her bee friends in the box.

Making Honey

Inside the bee box, the bees work hard to make golden honey. They are very busy bees! Jack, the daddy, loves to gather the honey from the bee box.

Sweet Treats

Jack’s family enjoys the honey too! Mommy likes to drink tea with honey, and the children love to snack on bread with sweet, gooey honey. Yum!

Honeycomb and Beeswax

The bees also make honeycomb, which Jack collects. He likes to eat it with slices of tart green apple. The beeswax from the hive is used to make candles that smell like honey.

Special Uses

Mommy lights the honey-scented candles and says a prayer of thanks. The family also uses honey to make cough syrup, which helps the children feel better.

Yummy Yogurt

Grandma mixes honey with yogurt for a sweet breakfast treat. The whole family loves it!

Thank You, Bees!

The family is thankful to the bees for all the wonderful things they provide: candles, honey, cough syrup, and more. Thank you, honeybees!
