Purr-haps you'd like a new way to get your claws on science questions sent in by kids like you. That's litter-ally my favorite thing.

You'll hear:
- What a bee proboscis is and why bees are so adorably hairy
- Why some people call honey "bee barf" and what trophollaxis is
- How bees make foods like bee bread and honey
Resources you can use:
- Check out these baby bees
- Learn how to make homes for native bees (they're like cousins to honey bees)
