Our Springfield Gardens Education Center students had a bee-utiful 🐝 day at the Queens Botanical Garden where they got the buzz on how bees make honey and learned how they help plants grow. Next our students became mini botanists by exploring the plants and trees around them. Each student even planted a seed to take home! 🌱 #YoungScientists #QueensBotanicalGarden #BeeEducated #birch
