After Benito Mussolini's ouster, former Axis power Italy allied with the Americans to wrest control of Rome from the Germans. In addition to being hellacious, war can also be very confusing.

This week, Stefanie didn't select a book, movie, or album. She picked a database! She loves PressReader, which allows her to read hundreds of magazines and newspapers from around the world. And it's free to use with her Mentor Public Library card.

Sputnik's launch in 1957 also ignited a period of unprecedented scientific investment. The American and Soviets raced to claim milestones that'd seemed unfathomable just a generation earlier. Before the Space Race concluded, 12 humans had walked on the moon!

🍯 We kicked off our Honeycomb Hangout by asking the kids if they knew any BEE FACTS.

Did they ever!!!

🐝 Most bees can't navigate at night. (True! Honeybees and bumblebees use polarized light from the sun to guide them.)
🐝 Male bees don't have stingers. (True again! The stinger is actually a modified egg-laying device. Though some males have a defensive spike on their bottom, there's no venom attached so it's not a stinger.)
🐝 Bees "dance" to let other bees know where to find food. (True too! Dubbed the WAGGLE DANCE, the bees perform a series of figure-eight movements that let their hivemates know both the distance and direction — relative to the sun — of the food source.)

What a delight to learn from such inquisitive kids!

Stay curious! It's a big, bee-utiful world out there! 🌎
