Our Leafcutter Bees!

Lynda Bardwell —

At the end of last term we welcomed leafcutter bees to Wakari School.

Mrs Gribben came to visit us last term.  She showed us a tiny container which had 70 leafcutter bee cocoons inside it.  Each one was wrapped in a little leaf!

Next she carefully took out each one and placed them all into a special nesting tray.

Then we slotted the tray into our beehive.

Come and visit our hive outside the library.  You will see the bees when the weather warms up......hopefully soon!
