Helping the Bumblebees!





After learning all about the bumblebee for the RSPB Vote for Nature project, the children in Primary 2/1 have been lucky enough to become involved in a local project to help the bumblebee, and particularly the Great Yellow Bumblebee, survive. Eileen Summers, Environmental Officer for the Council, helped P2/1 plant seedlings of eight different plants native to Orkney. In time these plants should provide pollen for bumblebees right through the spring and summer months. We are looking forward to seeing these plants flower. Well done Primary 2/1 for playing your part in helping to look after the bumblebee!
