The project was designed to raise awareness amongst primary
school children, about the decline in the honey bee population. In the first year of this project, during
the summer of 2011, there were 10,000 children who took part. The project will be taken forward in
2012, at a reduced level.
For BeePlus 2011, our thanks go to:
- The British Beekeepers
Association who provided the original educational material;
- Rowse Honey Ltd for their sponsorship
which enabled the design and publishing of the teacher resource
books and CD, the children's workbooks and the goody bags, which were
given to 10,000 children;
- Members of Soroptimist International of
Great Britain and Ireland for recruiting and supporting schools;
- Mr Bill Turnbull for his support and
foreword in the workbooks;
- And last but not least, the children and
teachers who took part: your enthusiasm and creativity were an
inspiration!
Thank You
