Partners Feedback 2023
Posted on 6th March 2024 at 10:52
At the end of 2023 I created an on-line form and ask customers of my School for Bees scheme to provide some feedback. There were just five questions. I kept it short as the heads of schools are busy people. Here is what the respondents had to say. The Information has been anonymised to protect their privacy.
The schools proving feedback are very different institutions. One school is in one of largest cities in the East Midlands, another is a village school in South Derbyshire and the other an Independent school in rural North West Leicestershire. The question were as follows:

Do you have any comments on the School for Bees scheme?
The children love being part of the whole process in the production of honey, from building the hive to the bee keeping and the final honey product.
It continues to have a positive impact on all involved. Thank you.
I am absolutely loving it. I enjoy the bees' company so much (without sounding too weird!) and I am sure that the people that get involved in the future feel the same. I feel fully supported and am very thankful for the community around me helping and cheering me on. It feels like much more than a hobby and I'm very excited about where it will go.
