[Leslie starts to look around herself, but she's almost immediately distracted by explaining her recently acquired knowledge.]
It's a little bit of both. There are these bugs named bees that spend a lot of time in flower gardens. They're about this big [holding her index fingers apart about bee size] and black and yellow and fuzzy. If you ever do any gardening, you shouldn't disturb them. They fight back, and also they do some really important things for having a healthy garden. They gather something called -- nectar from flowers, and they use that to make honey back in their homes!
[Thanks, whichever quick-witted prof or fellow gardener who saw the child about to shoo away a bee and turned it into a less painful lesson than getting stung.]
