Fun talk on honey bees at Louisiana Primary
Maritjie Marais made the information on hives, honeycombs, male bees versus female bees, queen bees, pollen, honey and much more interesting and easy to understand with photos, props, real honeycombs and honey for the children to taste.
Learners and educators at Louisiana Primary School gained an understanding of how precious and vital honey bees are to the world and the future.
Before schools closed, Anna Sabbatini, volunteer for the Jane Goodall Roots and Shoots SA programme invited beekeeper, Maritjie Marais to give an informative and fun talk on honey bees and their role in the production of food such as vegetables and fruit.
Maritjie made the information on hives, honeycombs, male bees versus female bees, queen bees, pollen and honey much more interesting and easy to understand with photos, props, real honeycombs and honey for the children to taste.
Roots and Shoots SA with the help of Mbeke Ngcobo, a permaculture expert, has started a vegetable garden on the school grounds where a group of learners are taught to grow their own vegetables and how to care for their environment.
This global programme teaches children to become empowered to use their voice and actions to make compassionate decisions and to create the change the world needs for the environment, animals and people and the humble honey bee, often misunderstood by many but vital to the learners’ growth to become caring young people.
