Second Term Activity

Bee Hotels

March 2022

De La Salle College Junior School chose the BEE theme for the academic year 2021-2022, encouraging the Lasallian community to be anything they want to be and raising awareness about the benefits of bees. This project was done by the senior school students in collaboration with the Junior school. The Ekoskola De La Salle College committee members had the opportunity to visit the Design and Technology lab in the Senior School to watch the senior students create their bee hotel. These were built using timber, bamboo sticks, old hoses and other recycled material. They made plenty of smooth, cylindrical spaces wide enough for the pollinators to seek refuge and completed with a sloping roof. The students made twenty-four bee hotels in all, which were placed around the school’s garden.
