Morning Starters: Autumn 2 - Resourcefulness
Did You Know?
The Akie people of Tanzania are very clever and resourceful. They gather honey by gently smoking the bees out of their hives, using dried weaver bird nests that they light by rubbing sticks together. Even though they are often stung by the bees, they don’t seem bothered by the pain. Their methods show how well they use the resources around them.
