There is also an old log house on the property that was part of the tour. More photos of the Hostetler farm are available at the end of this part of the tour.

Bees collect nectar which bees change to honey that we can use. Pollen is also collected to make "bee bread" to feed young bees. The students learned about the different bees in a hive and how the comb is processed to get the honey and wax. They also had an opportunity to view a bee hive behind glass.

Students watched as the horses demonstrated the types of movements the rider would ask the horse to perform. Different saddles are used for specific types of riding. There was also a display of items used groom the horse.
