Sarah McMullin O'Gwin, Matt McMullin, and Candi McMullin come into Mrs. Kelley's first grade classroom on behalf of Agriculture in the Classroom sponsored by Utah State University Cooperative Extension.    They talked to the class about the importance of agriculture in their lives, and specifically talked about bees and their importance and how farmers depend on them.  The students learned how beekeepers keep the bees calm, and got to taste some honey.  The kids really enjoyed the presentation.  Some of the children even got to try on a beekeeper suit.  They also donated the book The Beeman by Laurie Krebs and Valeria Cis to the classroom.  What a fun learning experience!
