Celebrate and create awareness for our honey bees over these Spring and summer months. Here are some ideas you can share with your school communities, with something for every age of learner.
Raise funds and donate to our Trees for Honey Bees fund, where we plant bee food trees in Greenpop’s Reforestation projects. To date, we have planted over R400 000 worth of trees for honey bees. Not to mention all the other pollinators that benefit too.
Trees for Bees
Kids can make ‘em, throw ‘em and grow’em. Make natural bee bombs and let nature bloom with wildflowers, in gardens, public areas, and road verges – wherever you can – thow-em and grow-em the natural way.

Sing to the bees
This song we have for you, FLY MY HONEY BEE, was written by Sani Seni of Slovenia. Slovenia is a world-renowned beekeeping country who are responsible for motivating the declaration of a World Bee Day on May 20 each year.
Fly my honey beeCreate the song in any style of music. There are various scores to use and the rest is up for the creative journey to individualize if you choose.
The link will take you through to the Schools Program page, with links to a nifty trello board with explanations and music sheets for you to download.
Sani Seni has given all parties to our Bee Smart Schools program permission to use their music so that the world might sing to our honey bees.
Whatever you do for the bees, let us know, and let’s get your school fitted with the BEE SMART Schools badge of recognition for bee-centric action. And don’t forget to tag Bee Smart and The Bee Effect on your social media activity and let’s keep the awareness buzz alive together.
