We can’t get enough of bees! Can you? Discover the secret lives of bees with one of the Great Science Share for Schools Regional Champions, Hayley Sherrard, from SSERC. Her hobby is beekeeping and she’s created this fabulous film to shows us the inside of her own working bee hive.

Use this video to encourage you pupils to think about the lives of bees, how they interact with their environment and how important they are to us. You could even break it down into sections and use Question Makers to get pupils thinking about each part of the hive.

How can you encourage pollinators in your local area?
