We are hoping that we have done this just in time! Here is Ms Christinson inspecting a few of the dead bees. In the meantime, Mazey and Melbourne are continuing to give our bees a fresh and closeby source of water.

What's wrong with our bees?
Some keen eyes have spotted a problem with our school honey bees. At the front of our beehive (on the school field) there are quite a few dead bees, some of which have obvious problems with their bodies like no wings, and weird shaped abdomens. This is not unusual, but it means we have to act fast. The destructive varroa mite is in our hive, so we have put in a treatment to control their impact.
