Mrs Harper, Mrs Gorst and I were invited down to the RHS Tatton flower show to speak about bees and beekeeping with children and in schools. We had a smashing time sharing our experiences with the public and spreading the word about how amazing young people are with the bees. We met lots of interesting people and answered many questions from people curious about our bee adventures! It was amazing to see all the flowers, in particular those favoured by the bees!! We need to get more Aliums in our school garden for sure!
Kendal beekeepers apiary day and bee shed opening!
It was our turn to host an apiary meeting with Kendal beekeepers, and so we thought it would be a great opportunity to 'officially' open our bee shed, and say thank you to all the people who have supported the bee project since we started 18 months ago.
The Bee Teams were on hand to explain to family and friends all about the bees in our observation hive, and some of our Junior Certificate children led the inspections with members of Kendal beekeepers....
There were scones and cake a plenty, and Mrs Gorst had made the most wonderful 'bee birthday cake' to celebrate Dr Piggott's birthday, as way as a thank you for all her support. Mr Tett, our beekeeping buddy was also there with more equipment and expert advice! It was a wonderful afternoon celebrating all the children have achieved, thank you everyone for your support!
