Last week, local apiary expert and bee-keeper, Dave Busby delivered the first bee hive to Abingdon School, along with its 30,000 little buzzing inhabitants! A keen group of students and staff, interested in learning about the art of bee-keeping, were there to learn more from Dave, who will regularly visit and manage the hive to make sure the bees stay fit and healthy.
Fun bee fact: The Queen Bee can lay 200,000 eggs in one summer between the March full moon and the September full moon.
