E: The hive got heavier and heavier and heavier and that's why it fell down.
An: (A wondered after listening to E) When they were still working and the hive falls, the air comes in right? Why did they not get out of the hive?
E: When the hive was falling down, the bees might have known and some of the bees flew away.
Av: In case the bees are sleeping, how will they know the hive is falling?
An: Bees don't sleep, they only work
Av: They sleep in the night and bats come and break, Bat is a bee eater, you know that? (He continues) I think I know, so, the bees sleep at night and are awake in the morning whereas, Bats sleep in the morning and wake up at night. That's why I think the bat's used their claws and cut the bee hive and no one knew.
T: (Questioning Av's hypothesis) But, there is a night security at school, why didn't he take care of it?
Av: But for the Bats, he can't do anything, if he comes near the Bats, they might poke him. Also, he cannot see the Bats because it's too up.
It was interesting to see how children tried to make logical connections with the knowledge they had. An open discussion like this enable children to bring about their thoughts and ideas and expand their connections helping them develop their thinking muscle
