A lesson on honeybees

YEAR 9 pupils from Wallace High School were treated to a lesson on honeybees last week.

The event began with local Beekeeper, Sam Baird, showing the pupils a live honeybee dissection in the assembly hall. Sam brought a small colony of bees that allowed pupils to see the honeybees at work. Pupils were then given the opportunity to quiz Sam on his knowledge of honeybees.

Pupils then had lessons on honeybee biology as well as completing an ‘Apprentice’ style business task.

This task called on the expertise of the art, technology and business studies departments and involved pupils developing a brand identity for a new honey company.

The winning team was Nathan Todd, James White, Alex Trouton, Luke Thompson and Ryan Wilson.
