Maddie visits beehives on the roof of a building in the city. She finds out how honey bees make honey in the hive. Maddie puts on a special beekeeping suit before the beekeeper opens the hive to see the busy bees working away. She uses her special slo-motion camera to see the bees fanning the hive with their wings to make the liquid honey evaporate and turn thick and sticky . We also see them carrying the pollen from the flowers in tiny ‘pollen baskets’ on their legs. Next, Maddie visits a pottery to find out how mugs are made from clay. We see the big lumps of clay being shaped into a mug shape by a fast spinning machine. Then Maddie shows us how the brightly coloured stripy glaze is painted on by hand.
