Where is Kellie from? When does she get honey from the hives? Why dont her friends go near the hives?

2 Why does she feed the bees in the winter? 4 What does she do with the honey?

Kellie Lenamond is 16. Shes from Texas in the United States. She has many hobbies. She likes playing volleyball. She also likes playing the fiddle, and she loves singing. But, Kellie has an unusual hobby: beekeeping. Kellie doesnt work with the bees every day. She checks her hives about twice a month in the spring, summer and fall. She spends more time with the bees in the winter. There arent many flowers for the bees to get food from at this time of year. So, Kellie feeds the bees a mixture of sugar and water in the winter. This is a typical day for Kellie when she works with the bees: 8:00 9:00 She gets up and eats breakfast. She sets out her beesuit. She makes sugar water for the bees. 11:00 She practices the fiddle. 12:00 She makes lunch for her brothers and sisters. Then she does her homework. 3:00 She goes to volleyball practice. 5:00 She and her mom make dinner. 7:00 After dinner, Kellie puts on her beesuit. She and her dad go to the backyard. She feeds the bees the sugar water. Every summer, Kellie takes honey from the hives. Her bees produce about 35 liters of honey a year. Kellie and her family sell some of the honey, cook with the honey and give friends honey, too.

Kellie has six beehives. She has about 360,000 bees!

Kellies friends dont go near the hives. They are afraid. They dont want the bees to sting them. Kellie says they dont understand that bees are a good thing. She says, I like standing safely in the middle of a swirling mass of stinging insects. No one else is brave enough!
