My Students

Did you know “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than FOUR years to live?"

~ Albert Einstein

Our Bee Club, started in spring 2018, is a 20 member, heterogeneous group of 6th-8th grade students from Hahira, Georgia, home of the Hahira honeybee, with a passion to learn about taking care of bees and a desire to share with others.

Our students are super special because they want to do all they can to protect our bees! Our goal is for students to learn about bees, take care of the hives, educate others in the school, and harvest honey to sell to faculty, students, and staff as well as the community at the Hahira Honeybee Festival.

My Project

In order to effectively take care of bees in the bee garden, all of our students need protective bee suits and gloves. Unfortunately, our club is just now getting going well and there are not enough funds to provide each student with appropriate gear.

Once our students have the protective gear, they all will be able to venture out into the bee garden to "work" the bees in the hives.

As students have hands-on experience in the hives, they will all become more knowledgeable about bee behavior, jobs of bees, making of cone and honey, pest management, and ways to keep the hives healthy. Students can then "teach" others in the school and community. Once students are able to harvest the honey, they will learn to package and advertise in order to sell the honey at school functions and in their community.
