The children from Cherubs Mansfield Woodhouse, on School Lane, went on an outing to Turner Orchard for their current topic, exploring animals and habitats.
Sarah Hickling, nursery manager, said: “The children observed the bee hives and the bees coming and going and we spoke about the purpose of the bees.
“We also had a scavenger hunt and made a large hedgehog using the items the children had gathered.”
