PUPILS at a primary school are buzzing after producing their first batch of honey from their own beehive.

Goldthorpe Primary pupils have been caring for their bees, and learning important lessons about their value to the environment, over the course of the past year.

With support from Paul Freer and the Barnsley Bee Keepers Association, the students are looking to increase the size of their colony after their first successful harvest.

Outdoor education teacher Chris Wharton-Lovett said: “The children have really enjoyed the whole process and are already looking forward to working with them again in the spring.”
