It was an exciting day today, our new Bee Team started their practical work in the apiary!
After taking and passing our Heron Hill Beekeeping Course, the children are set for a busy summer season of beekeeping at school.
Today's session focused on that tricky skill of getting safely (and quickly) into our bee suits, gloves and gauntlets! The children went through the rules we follow in the apiary and had their first experience with the smokers, learning how to light it then pass it safely to their beekeeping buddy. As always, we were so impressed with everyone's knowledge and team work! Can't wait for next week!

  Super work with the smokers... Think the suit here may be just a little on the large side!!  |   |
