We have 7 Heron Hill children and 3 past pupils who are taking the Junior Beekeeping certificate with the BBKA (British Bee Keeping Association) this June, which is amazing! Very few young people have gained the certificate, and our children will certainly be the youngest in the country... so keep up to date with their progress on the bee blog!
As you may know, we started our beekeeping journey last June with our first hive of bees, lovely calm bees, who despite the poor summer weather, managed to produce 15lb of honey! The Bee Team children were delighted when their honey won every class at the local honey show, including best in show, super for our first year.
