🦉✨ Hive Happenings ✨🦉
This week our members explored animal adaptations with a hands-on activity all about bird beaks! 🐦
We learned how different birds have beaks specially shaped for the foods they eat—whether it’s cracking tough shells, scooping up seeds, or picking out tiny morsels. Then we put our knowledge to the test: members tried using different tools like tongs and tweezers to “be the bird” and see which worked best for grabbing peanuts in the shell, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. 🌻🥜
It was a fun way to learn how nature designs for survival—and to get a little silly along the way! 🐝💛
