On Wednesday 19 September, students had the opportunity to speak with Barbara Elkins, a member of the Central Coast Amateur Beekeepers Association. Barbara brought an array of items with her, including honey, queen cages, bee specimens, beautifully painted hive boxes and her impressive repertoire of knowledge. She spoke about bee behaviour, the business side of beekeeping, and how to establish a hive, among many other aspects of the process which students were able to ask questions about.
