Karen -
 
You will have a ball doing these shows.  I suggest that you show up all
decked out in suit and veil... and walk down the middle of the school.
It works like a pied piper (sp?).  I suggest four props
 
1.  A video called "the honey harvest" (for the teacher to show before
you come)
 
2.  the study prints available (I think) from Dadant
 
3.  an observation hive
 
4.  Honey straws
 
This is fun.
