Tinkering and feasting. And yet learn something! How do bees make beeswax? A honeybee is like a small chemical factory. You put honey in and wax plates come out through the four pairs of wax glands that you find at the bottom of the abdomen. To be able to make 1 kilo of beeswax, the bees must eat 8 kilos of honey. From the wax plates the bees build their nesting space, full of cells in which the queen lays her eggs and where the workers store the honey supply. They use their building materials very efficiently. The children's party consists of making an insect hotel, swinging and tasting honey, pouring a wax candle and / or making a honey lolly.
