School’s Buzzing

Caterham School is home to three beehives, and the staff and pupil beekeeping team who tend them. Sixth Form members of the Green Committee, under the leadership of Dr Soltysiak and Mrs Brown, take the lead on looking after and monitoring the hives. 

Monitoring the hives provides significant learning about how weather and climate conditions affect the behaviour and health of the hives.  To see the team in action click on the video below – and for live updates (outside of the bees’ winter hibernation) on their quest for healthy hives and honey follow the @caterhamschoolbeekeepers on Instagram.
