Have you ever wondered how honey gets from the hive to your tea? Less than two miles from Lamar Union lies the answer. It's at the Austin Nature and Science Center, a museum that recently unveiled an exhibit about honey bees fittingly called The Secret Lives of Honey Bees.
From now until May 8, you can visit The Secret Lives of Honey Bees and and learn all about how they pollinate wildflowers and make your honey. You'll also find out more about why pollination makes such a difference in nature, as well as what distinguishes a honey bee from your standard bee. You can actually watch honey bees work, buzzing around the observation hive, and play a pollination-themed video game to boost your honey bee knowledge even more. While you're at the exhibit, make sure to read up on the current threats to honey bees—they could affect your morning tea if left unchecked.
