PUPILS BECOME BEE KEEPERS FOR THE DAY AT MULTREES WALK

20th May 2024 is World Bee Day, and to celebrate we invited pupils from nearby Leith Walk Primary School to visit the Multrees Walk bees, and to find out more about urban bee keeping with Webster Honey.  The school children started with a short talk about the importance of bees to our ecology, the threats they face, their life cycle and a bit about how beekeepers care for them. The pupils then donned beekeeping suits to get up and close personal to the bees, trying to spot the queen bee and learning how much work a worker bee has to do to make one jar of honey.
