First and fourth classes were lucky to have a pollination workshop with Edel Heeran this week. Edel is a beekeeper and she spoke to the classes about wild bee species in Ireland, how they are in danger and what we can do to help them. Edel also spoke about the honeybee, and had some frames from a hive to show the pupils, as well as some honey for them to taste.

We hope to reduce the amount of grass we are cutting from May onwards as part of no mow May to help to provide pollen for bees and other insects this year.
