P7 pupils in Rhu are looking to achieve the John Muir award this term for discovering, exploring, conserving and sharing their work on bees and their local area. They made a great start to their project by visiting a local beekeeper. Fortunately, it was a lovely sunny day and the bees were out foraging for the last pollen and nectar of the season. What a good opportunity to spot the bees busy at work.
They found out a lot of interesting facts about beekeeping and listened carefully to how the bees work together to make honey. They were lucky enough to take a jar of honey back to school. It was delicious!!!
That sounds like a very exciting project – good luck!
Thank you, we are enjoying finding out about the fascinating ways in which bees work together and are looking forward to spending more time outdoors.
