Staff and pupils at Braidhurst High School are buzzing with excitement for the arrival of their first colony of honeybees.   Pupils have been working closely with Warren Bader of Plan Bee Ltd to learn more about the life cycle of bees and how they organise and build their hives.

Mr Bader was full of praise for the stellar efforts of the pupils and was extremely impressed with the enthusiasm and drive they have brought to the project under the guidance of Geography teacher Kirsty Logan.   Soon they will learn to manage and extract honey from their own hive, which has been decorated to commemorate the Centenary of World War 1.
