We have had an eventful Term 4 in the Plight of the bees. We are proud owners of three species of bees, leaf-cutters, bumblebees and soon to be honey bees.
The wonderful Rachel kindly spent her holidays sewing our fantastic camouflage beekeeping suits and designing our cool veiled hats. Thank you so much Rachel, we love them!!
Mr Winter spent the morning with us today, talking about the parts of the hive and how we will look after the hive once the bees arrive. We are so lucky to have him, he is such a bee expert!
He will be joining us again next week to deliver the nuc of honey bees to their new home.
Mr Ivan Lawson, from the Christchurch South Lions Club, also joined us this morning. The Lions Club are sponsoring the Plight of the bees group and we are so thankful for their donation and involvement in our project.
We only have one more Eco Action session for 2017 so next week we will be focusing on housing our bees in their new hive (with Mr Winter's help) and then we will end our session with a shared morning tea- hopefully some honey inspired treats.
