Bee Happy in Your Garden!

Sheffield High has been inundated with around half a million new arrivals – no not new pupils, but honey bees!

We're keeping hives of honey bees on some land the school owns, just off Manchester Road. We hope that this will help to keep up numbers of honey bees in the area as they are vital to pollinate both crop and garden plants.

Honey bee numbers have fallen dramatically in recent years due to human activity, the weather and disease, so having as many kinds of flowers in your garden as possible for as much of the year can really help – check out the website our environmental impact for details about our new competition – bee happy in your garden!
