Hi! I’m Clive the Bee and this is my beehive. It is very special inside. Come and take a look.

My colony of bees likes to make honey every five minutes. If you can count by five, you can tell time by five, too. Before we begin, let’s practice counting the bees in my colony by fives.

5…10…15…20…25…30…35…40…45…50…55…60.

Excellent! There are 60 bees in my colony and they are ready to make honey. We can fill 12 cells of honey comb every hour. Help me tell time for the next hour. Let’s go!

What time is it now? Good, it is 12:00. Every time the minute hand touches a new number, five minutes have gone by. Let’s say the time by counting by fives.
