In the village of Setyakovo, they organized a bee party.

      The yard turned into a beehive.

      Only instead of bees — noisy, cheerful, and curious children.

      What did they do?

      They collected "honeycombs" — made of colored balls and paper cells (oh, what a complicated job!). They flew from flower to flower collecting "nectar" (though, in the form of sweet juice). And then they organized an educational hour: they told the children why this holiday is so important, what the Assumption fast is, and why honey is blessed in the church. The children learned that:

      Honey Spas is the first of three August Spases.

      On this day, our ancestors baked lean gingerbread with honey and treated everyone.

      And in ancient times, it was said: "On Honey Spas, even the bee rests" — so our little "bees" also deserved a break and enjoyed honey with tea.

      By the way, the children now know that one bee produces only a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. So every piece is a little miracle.
