Talk on Bees

Bee Talk
This year is the year of the bee in the Botanic gardens featuring lovely displays. Liam McGarry came out and gave a talk to 3rd-6th Classes on bees. He brought in a hive (uninhabited) for the children to see at close quarters. He also had a honeycomb for them to examine and indeed taste. Some classes did a colouring competition. He will return in May with live bees in a special enclosure for all the children to see. The learning experience is far better than from books and pictures.
