On Wednesday it was the Biggies turn to work with Meik and the beehive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First we got suited up: Trousers inside wellies, Fully zip head mask, no gaps, gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tip: Don\u2019t push face mesh onto face cause a bee could sting you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a bee gets in the mask you stay calm and squish it with your gloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the hive we learnt about bees. We pulled the frames out to check on the bees and make make sure the queen was there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we learnt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meik told us a lot about bees, this is some of what we remembered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
