This episode is super SWEET! We’re going to talk about Honey! I guess you could say this episode is the bees knees. It’s buzzin’. We’re so excited we’re getting hives. I-... Okay, I think I’m out of bee puns, but I think that was pretty good for just winging it (ha, got another one). Let’s learn about all things honey - How do bees actually make honey? How many bees are even able to make honey? AND, how does honey coffee taste?
