Beekeeping 2018

The farm was all abuzz on Friday the 14 September as our Stage 5 Agriculture class had the opportunity to try their hand at beekeeping. Students suited up to assist Miss Greenwood in opening the hive for a post-winter inspection. They got to use a hive smoker, observe bees up close, smell fresh honey and feel the surprising weight of a honey packed hive frame. Prior to the day they also completed anaphylaxis training.

The students should be commended for their behaviour around the hive and a BIG thank you goes out to Miss Searle for assisting during the lesson!​
