At Ss Peter and Paul Kiama the school Bees have been incredibly busy and have made an amazing amount of honey - 8 frames that weigh about 1-2kg!!

The school community is so grateful for its wonderful beekeeper Laura, who separated the bees from the hive and has helped the school community learn how to extract honey from the frames.

Recently, the WEN Contact Mrs Foran and Principal Mr Michael taught each grade about the importance of the bees and the process of how they make honey. Then, each student was given an opportunity to extract the honey from the frames. They bottled 45 jars of honey and this will only increase every year as the hive continues to grow. What a fantastic experience for the school community!
