Dousing

Dousing is a old way to find water under ground.They also called it divining because it looked like magic!They used two alive sticks.We used two copper rods.Both rods and sticks would cross over in a X. Only when you stand over water. You can hold them by puting your pinkky on the botom and thumb on top and the rest of your fingers in a fist don't hold to tigh.

Bees and Honey

On our field trip we learned that male bees are lazy and have no stingers. We also learned that feamle bees do all the work.The queen bee lays all the eggs while the other bees work.The feamales bees gather necktar and bring it back to the hive.We take the honey that the bees make and buy it at the store.We also got to take a pretzzle and dip it in honey.It tasted very sweet.We got to smell a rose and it had necktar.
