About me

I am the Head of English at the school and a full-time teacher of English. Apart from teaching and duties, I have a number of extra-curricular responsibilities. This means that on any given day I do not have a lot of free time. In fact, I barely know, within a school day, what that word means.
And yet I want to keep bees at school and am confident that I will find time to look after them.

I have never kept bees before.

Having been on a course two years ago, because I was interested in beekeeping, I decided this is definitely something I want to do. Rather than keep bees at home, I thought it would be much more fun and educational to keep bees at school. Thus this project was born.
In the meantime I have attended two further beekeeping courses in a panic that I will mess things up with the school's bees and am now waiting for the bees to teach me everything else I need to know.

So, bear in mind when you read this blog that I am only just starting out. But perhaps the trials and tribulations of someone who has never done this before are of more help than the learned words of the more wise.
