Bee smart schools
Learning the love of bees
Become a Bee Smart school
The Bee Smart schools programme gives learners a fun, hands-on way to understand why honey bees matter and how small actions can make a real difference.
From making Bee Bombs to planting bee-friendly flowers and supporting reforestation, every project helps create a better future for pollinators.

Sing a song for our honey bees
Music is a wonderful way to celebrate honey bees and inspire young minds.
Fly My Honey Bee was written by Sani Seni of Slovenia, a country renowned for its beekeeping heritage and for leading the global movement that established World Bee Day, celebrated every year on 20 May.
Sing it in English, translate it into your home language, perform it as a choir, or make it your own with a new style or arrangement. However you choose to sing it, every voice helps spread the message about the importance of honey bees.
Making Bee Bombs
Bee Bombs are a simple and enjoyable way for learners to grow flowers that feed honey bees and other pollinators. Mix them, roll them, dry them, then throw them into gardens or open spaces and let nature do the rest.
