Now that spring is here, we have been checking the bee hives to see how they are doing.

Unfortunately we had one hive die over the winter, but the other hive is doing very well and is building up numbers.

We will split this hive into two hives in a few weeks and grow a second queen!

 

The Primary 7 children have been learning how to inspect the bee hive to check for the queen laying eggs.

Check out this great video!
