How do bees make honey? By Alex B and Kalafi
How do bees make honey?
Bees know lots about honey and they are smart.
First the worker bee fly to a flower and land on it. Then they suck the nectar up with there tongue and the honey is stored it in there stomach.
Next they fly to the beehive and they spit the honey out from their mouth into the cell.
After a few minutes the honey evaporated and then the honey is ready to be havrist.
Finally when the honey is harvested it is ready to be sold at the shops.

How do bees make honey ?
Bees are very talented and smart creatures because they make honey.
The first process of making honey is to go and find a flower and collect nectar . Next they return back to the hive . There honey stomach is located on their back leg .
After that they spit out the honey into the 6 sided compartment called cells inside the beehive. The warmth of the beehive evaporates the water and turns into honey .
Bees are very helpful because they make healthy honey for us.I think bees are smart and very helpful.

The peaceful floating island
One hot and sunny day in the sky there was a huge floating island. It smells like beautiful flowers that had just come out of a shop. When you climb on top of the mountain that is as big as a tower, you can just about see the bottom of the floating island. The floating island is as quiet as a mouse. The clouds are as fluffy as a kitten.
So the villagers were working peacefully and the animals were walking around peacefully, suddenly the island began to shake. Then a fireball flew up into the air and crashed onto a house, the house started to burn down the next thing they knew more fireballs flew up into the air and came crashing down on the villagers village. The villagers did not know what to do so they decided to investigate what was happening, so they took a little peak off the island and they saw that there were catapults on a tall mountain, shooting fireballs at the floating island. The villagers did not know what to do they were so afraid to do anything to protect their village. Their village was going up in flames, the sky started to smell like smoke. The animals were running all over the floating island. All the animals were so frightened,the animals did not like the fireball crashing on the village.
The villagers were not happy so they decided, that they should stop the destruction happening to their village. First they wrote a message and put it in a bottle, and gave it to a bird and pointed to the direction to where the bird had to deliver the message. when they gave the message, to the bird the bird flew down to where the catapults were shooting. when the bird handed the people the message in the bottle. Then the people shooting the catapults started to read the message in the bottle, the message said please stop shooting the fireball please. Next the people shooting the catapults thought for a moment and realized that people can get hurt so, they stopped shooting the fireballs, at the village. Then the villagers looked down and saw that they stopped, shooting fireball at their village. So the villagers started to put out the fire with buckets of water, and when they put out all the fire they took the animals, out of their hiding places and started to build their village. Then they all lived peacefully together on the floating island.

The Yeti
A very long time ago, in the middle of winter, 2003 on the biggest saddest scariest spectacular mountain on earth, (Mount Everest ) as cold as a ice berg, Adam and Eve arrived with their children and decided to live there. I have know idea why they decided to live THERE, but maybe it's because of the pretty snowflakes, or the delicious snow-cones, or the peace and quiet. But there are hideous, horrible, hairy, hungry beasts up there, and they don't seem scared at all!!!
So Adam and his family lived happily ever after for a while, until their naughty little children ran away in the dead of NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! This is why they ran away: they wanted to explore the mountain and have fun so badly, they wrote a note and started to climb up the mountain. They climbed a twentieth of Mount Everest then got scared and hungry. After a while Mother Nature found them hungry, cold, and scared and became as angry as a rhinoceros and a lion put together. So she whisked them away to a hungry YETI'S CAVE!!! Meanwhile at the crack of dawn, Eve woke up as quick as a lizard for some reason. Then she saw the empty beds. She gasped a humongous gasp. She woke up Adam, he gasped too. "The children have gone" she screamed and looked around the room for notes or some clue. Finally she found a note. The note said: We have gone exploring because it is sooo boring here. We probably will be back by dawn. If the note is still here now, come and find us. Eve started to cry like she had broke her arm. "I bet they fell down the mountain in an avalanche, and that's why there not here", and with that, she ran out the door screaming her children names frantically. After a while she gave up and sat down and sobbed.
Back at the cave the children were shivering up against the wall, but it wasn't the coldness this time. There was a big, huge, scary, yeti looking down on them. It was so huge they couldn't see his face. He reached down to pick them up. They were so frozen with fear, they couldn't move. He said to them… where do you live ? The eldest finally had the courage to speak. "I know what you're doing, you're going to eat us then our parents". What no. "I'm going to take you home". "I don't believe you, I'm going home." said the eldest. "OK", said the yeti and took them to the door, opened it and put them down. There was a blizzard outside and it was freezing cold. So the eldest said "never mind I'll come with you." The yeti smirked. We live down the mountain to the left. "OK", He said again. So the yeti took them through the blizzard and down to their house. Since Bob (that was his name) was such a great help and was super starving, they gave him some food and became friends with Bob.
