Bee Buddies Honey Project

Sharing the 'buzz' of our Honey Story! Bee Buddies Honey is an outcome of a student inquiry-based learning project.  An environmental study of the honeybees sparked an interest in the staff and students of our school.  As we explored our project deeper, we became intrigued with the bees and wanted to discover all we could about them and how they influence our local environment, as well, and how our local environment might damage the lives of bee.  Our entrepreneurial spirit found us talking to experts, who helped us establish our first two school hives.  Staff and students of Crestomere School share in the responsibility of caring for the bees and managing the honey production.  Our bees feed on the community flowers, crops, trees and shrubs, making our honey truly a 'community honey'.
