Sponsored Run for the Food for Thought Beekeeper Training programme – Saturday 17th January.
Thomas successfully completed The Fan Dance with Matt and Richard. The 24km route is the infamous SAS Selection Test which took them up and over Pen Y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales – and back again!
Beekeeping is a very valuable skill, as there is always a market for honey! This project will train two teachers from five Food for Thought schools in beekeeping and provide them with eight beehives for each school, Queen bees, a protective suit, hat and gloves. A group of young people will train in carpentry to make the bee hives, and be rewarded with training and a bee hive each.
You can view photographs of a previous beekeeping training programme and bee hive making session.
