The girls in Nursery, Reception and Year One were thrilled to meet David and his team of bee enthusiasts from Ruxley Beekeepers earlier this week.
David arrived at the Junior site armed with friendly bees and a range of bee-themed activities for the girls to enjoy.
Everyone agreed that the highlight of the afternoon was the opportunity to taste some special honey made by our very buzzy guests.
