Students in Southend learn about the significance of bees.

Students at Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School in Southend have engaged in hands-on lessons focused on the significance of bees and ways to protect them. Year 3 pupils participated in geography and science activities to understand how to support pollinators, conducting site surveys to assess and enhance their school environment for bees.

As part of their learning, the students welcomed a local beekeeper from Leigh Bees and visited a hive at Southend High School for Boys. There, they had the opportunity to work with a hive and sample honey produced by the bees, accompanied by Bayo Alaba, MP for Southend East and Rochford.
