My Project

We've been as busy as bees! Students at our school have been hard at work caring for our resident honey bees - learning about their biology and needs, and spending some long hours caring for them. All of this buzzing activity has proven to be a great way to get students excited about being outside, and being an outdoor-focused school, we try to go outside as much as possible! And though honey bees are not a native bee, they are an excellent introduction to the world of insects, as students are able to get up close and personal. Not only that, but they allow students to increase their tolerance for and understanding of bees and wasps as a whole, removing the initial fear that some students might have about learning outside.

A honey extractor will allow us to efficiently harvest the honey harvest at the end of the season.

It's important to us that our junior beekeepers are able to use authentic equipment, and while our youngest students will enjoy the ease of use, our older students will also be able to explore the science of the extraction -- specifically centrifugal force.

We cannot wait to continue our bee-adventure with this next, and sweetest step!
