Principal Christine Morrison helps with the honey delivery.
Sherwood School students were buzzing last week as the honey from their school hives was delivered and each student received their own pot of golden honey to take home.
The school hives arrived last spring and the students have updates and lessons about bees, their lifecycles and feeding from local
beekeeper Jason Ward of Kintail Honey in Takapau.
Ten-year-old Flynn Andrews was keen to share his newfound knowledge with his group.
"Very early one morning Jason came and smoked the hive to make the bees sleepy, then he blew the frames with a blower to remove the bees, then he took the frames to Kintail to remove the honey and now here it is in two big buckets," he said.
Jason delivered the school a massive 35kg of honey.
