Bee Weiss is a Beehive and Bee Activity Management Service, specialising in European Honey Bees.
The live interactive experience is held via online video chat that can be enjoyed from the classroom.
Students will be amazed as they develop an understanding of bees particularly the ‘European Honeybee’, beekeeping, pollination in our ecosystem, sustainability and ‘living with bees’.
The live workshops includes:
- A demonstration of bee keeping equipment including bee suit with veil and the ‘smoker’.
- Bee safety and how not to get stung.
- Viewing different parts of the hive including the brood (nursery) boxes and the honey ‘super’.
- Learn about the Queen excluder and purpose.
- Facts behind the sizing of the grill used to keep the Queen in the ‘brood boxes’ without any brood getting mixed with the honey.
- Live close up of the bees showing them carrying pollen back to the hive.
- Bees doing their ‘bee dance’.
