Last year we had a visit from a beekeeper which the Eco Committee attended. We were interested in finding out about how bees are cared for and we had lots of questions to ask the beekeeper about his job, the different types of bees and how climate change is affecting bees. We found out about production of honey and how that is done and also about the part bees have to play in pollinating our crops. We learned that with global warming due to the continuing use of fossil fuels we may get bees migrating north from other countries to the south in the future which might cause competition with our native species of bees. We learned that spring flowers are blooming earlier due to global warming and when the bees are born they have less time to pollinate. Here are some pictures from our visit.
