This quickly developed from being an occasional lesson into an extra curricula bee club, to putting beekeeping on the school timetable as a Scottish National Progression Award (GCSE level) and supporting other schools with the development of their own beekeeping qualifications. It's a journey that has been inspired by the enthusiasm of young people and the questions that they ask.
