Friday lunchtime was our latest (quick) inspection of our school beehive. In winter time we want to disrupt our bees as little as possible, so they can keep the warmth they generate inside the hive. They don't like the cold. James (R6) and Hana (R11) checked for any signs of varroa mites, which are a big problem for all hives in New Zealand. Our hive was all clear, great news!
We will check in again, before the end of term 2, to see if they have enough honey to last through the school holiday!
