We are always looking for opportunities in the Bee Team for the children to think about not just our bees, but how the environment we live in can affect them and the countryside around us.
So we signed up to work with the CEH (Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) to take part in some research which will hopefully provide valuable information about how bees and the countryside are managing in a world with pollution, pesticides and other threats. Over the next two years, The Bee Team will send honey samples which will tell the researchers where our bees forage, what they forage on and if there are any pesticides residues in our honey. Our samples were taken last week and should be back for the children to see and think about in September... It will be very interesting for us to find more about the private lives of our bees and the threats they face.
