This term the Joeys are exploring the helpful insects around us in our “Bug Out” program. Terry and Tara joined us to talk about their role as Bee Keepers at the Community Gardens in Warragul, and they spoke about how many Australian bees we have (1,500) and the 3 different roles that bees have in our Ecosystem. Terry told us how vegetables can be made by bees pollinating flowers and dropping pollen waste.
Terry and Tara gave us some honeycomb from the bee hives, then we made some honeycomb in a frying pan with sugar, honey and bicarb soda.
