Another day, another recipe test for the education sector.

Are you a bee-liever?
Let's give it up for these true legends of pollination.
Their un-bee-lievable hustle keeps our world blooming and buzzing.
They're the real MVPs, making our world sweet from the hive to the streets.

But then you will have to endure our singing voices, so maybe not.
