School trip to Apicoltura Comaro

Last week, the N3, N4 and K students went to visit the ‘Apicoltura Comaro’ honey farm. They had lots of fun learning about bees and how they make the delicious honey that we all love so much!

We learned as we listened closely to our guide, who skillfully explained to us the process of making honey. We also experienced many of the steps through hands-on activities that were very engaging for teachers and students: from touching and tasting pollen and honey, to watching how big machines are used to filter the honey from the honeycombs! The students found out that bees are amazing, hardworking creatures!

It was nice to hear the students’ comments later-on in the week whilst playing outside, about the importance of letting the bees wander freely on our playground without disturbing them. Many children in the ECC are now making links between the existence of bees and flowers and are beginning to understand the importance of protecting them.
