Beekeeper’s visit

A beekeeper visited Derwent Valley Pre-school this week. She spoke to the children about how she looks after the bees and how honey is made. The children and staff then used beeswax to make candles and bee sculptures. They also tasted two types of honey, oilseed rape and heather. Most of the children liked the heather honey as it was ‘sticky’. They then ended the visit by singing a song about a bee.
