Happy #WorldBeeDay
This morning the staff and students of @foxprimary in Kensington will arrive at school confident that they have honey bees back in their roof top garden!
We installed them yesterday and are supporting staff to manage them. I also enjoyed spending the morning with both Yr 5 classes and the school council talking all things bee….

These bees are loving the sunshine ☀️
They’ve been working hard to support their queen (as she lays around 2,000 eggs a day), rearing young, foraging for nectar & pollen, guarding the hive and they have just started filling their second box of honey!

You looking at me?
Our little chicks are growing up so fast, feathers are filling out their wings and feet (a hallmark of Pékins), and they are more inquisitive by the day…
A chick is for life, not just for Easter 🐣

The fragile blossom of our Ukrainien Easter Pear,

The fragile blossom of our Ukrainien Easter Pear, also known as the Humbug Pear as the mature fruit will be striped pink, yellow and green. It’s named Easter as in its native Ukraine, the fruits are harvested in autumn and stored safely over winter to be presented within Easter celebrations as a sign of new life and promise after the darkness of winter.
May Ukraine, in it’s current fragility, find hope that after darkness comes new life 🇺🇦

Hello Mummy!
Who said that bees were stripy?
Can you spot our queen bee, dressed in her golden gown?
She’s got babies on 5 frames and is looking for space to lay more eggs on a 6th!

How Egg-citing!
Our chicks are hatching 🐣🐣🐣
Check out the time-lapse (it was an hour real time)…
All ready for our special event, Easter at Hen Corner, this weekend.
Book in via Family Courses on website 🎫

The eggs have been in the incubator for 17 days no

The eggs have been in the incubator for 17 days now and, as bantams, should be hatching in the next couple of days.
We’ve just candled them, shining a light through them, to see what’s happening and, if I’m correct, there’s chicks developing in 9 of them (meaning 3 were not fertile).
Fingers crossed for safe hatchings 🤞🏻🤞🏻
