Bees Knees

To bee or not to bee? RL Clemitson students are immersed in bee biology

Jun 21, 2019 | 4:35 PM

KAMLOOPS — Some young students at RL Clemitson Elementary are happy to be getting straight bees to end off the year.

After learning about bees throughout the spring, the Grade 3-to-6 students painted 20 bee boxes provided by a local apiarist. The hives will be raffled and sold to beekeepers as a fundraiser for district educational programs.

Local beekeepers Jennifer and Steven Zachary taught the students a lesson about bee biology.
