A lesson on honeybees
The event began with local Beekeeper, Sam Baird, showing the pupils a live honeybee dissection in the assembly hall. Sam brought a small colony of bees that allowed pupils to see the honeybees at work. Pupils were then given the opportunity to quiz Sam on his knowledge of honeybees.
Pupils then had lessons on honeybee biology as well as completing an ‘Apprentice’ style business task.
