Clifford Wright-Sunflower
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Grades: 1-6
Clifford Wright-Sunflower is a master beekeeper and environmentalist. Aided by an eager volunteer from the audience dressed in beekeeping equipment, Clifford demonstrates the precision of a beekeeper working a beehive. He transforms the entire audience into a working hive, complete with queen, nursemaids, brood, construction workers, drones, guards and flowers. With bodies busily buzzing about in the functional dance of the beehive, children learn first-hand about the delicate and complex balance of the bee colony and the world around it. After the honeybee dance, children are divided into smaller groups to visit with an observation hive of bees, to make a beeswax candle and, most important, to share bee fears, experiences and questions.
