Beeswax......







Guten Tag room 13,

This week we went to my birth town Weimar, where we visited a bee museum. There was a little shop selling honey in big bottles and beeswax candles, HONEY waffles and lollies, great slabs of HONEY soap and bottles of creamy HONEY liqueur... you name it! Inside the museum they had huge wooden sculptures of people that bees could build their hives in from a long time ago, and a hive behind some glass with a pipe leading out so that you could see how it works. There were lots of books with facts about bees and a disgusting model of half a bee. Walking around a museum on a hot, summery day makes you hungry, so we went outside for a drink and some 'Bienenstich', a sweet, almondy cake made with honey, of course! 'Bienenstich' means beesting. We didn't get stung by a bee when we walked through the flower garden where bees from about 7 hives buzzed lazily in the warm air.

Tschuess,
From Hanna.
