October Bee Update!
When we came back to school at the start of September, we found that our hive and bees were not in good shape. Over the summer, the queen had gone missing (we don't know if she died or killed while out exploring). This meant that the colony was starting to die off as no new eggs were being laid. There were only a handful of bees left that and they were not really doing much. BUT.....
Sarah Parsons has come to our rescue. Being an avid bee keeper herself, she has kindly donated one of her colony to school and will be helping us to care for them. she came in to talk to the Juniors on Monday (3rd October) to talk through what happened to the bees and what we will be doing with the new hive. We also had the chance to taste some of Sarah's honey from her garden hives which went down a treat.
We are looking forward to learning more about the bees and being able to help them produce some yummy honey.
