Year 4 helped put a 'bait hive' on the flat roof of Mrs Patrick's classroom. Bait hives are used to 'entice' any passing swarms of bees inside, they are basically an empty hive, with some frames inside with wax foundation...a perfect ready made home for bees! Although it is not 'swarming season' quite yet, we wanted to be ready just in case. Year 4 have been tasked with monitoring the hive for any scout bees who may be interested, very exciting!
