German School Students Become Beekeepers
Recently, a group of primary and secondary students from the German School Shanghai Hongqiao (DSSH) got to experience a day as beekeepers.
Excitement built on the journey, before they finally arrived at an apiary in Suzhou. With the knowledge prepared in the previous weeks, the students had already learned a lot about bees in terms of their life habits and their importance to the ecosystem.
Guided by a professional beekeeper, the students wore protective suits and took a closer look at hives co-sponsored by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the football cooperation partner Borussia Dortmund, to put book knowledge into practice.
They marveled at the hard-working insects, looked for the queen, and finally learned what honey was. The extraction of honey was also demonstrated, with the children actively helping to spin the honey.
The jointly produced honey – the DSSH honey – will be used for charity sale.
