The continuing Covid 19 restrictions are making it very difficult for us all to meet at a local apiary to get some hands on experience of beekeeping. With this in mind we thought you would enjoy a little beekeeping quiz to see if you can identify some features of a hive. The photographs and quiz where made for the children at St Leonard’s School apiary by an FBA member, Jo Goodburn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which part of the hive can you see here? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many frames do you think the bees are living on based on this photograph?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you tell about the outside frames? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many varroa can you see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else can you spot?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
