Beekeeping in Scotland - a Short Guide

The links on the right take you to a set of four articles on beekeeping in Scotland. With the exception of the one on climate, they are illustrated in colour. They are pitched at a relatively low level of prior knowledge, and are mostly in a 'question and answer' format, and are well suited to use in schools, particularly p5-p7. They can form a very useful basis for a classroom project on 'minibeasts'.

The four articles have been edited from an earlier version of this web site into four downloadable .pdf files.
