In our daily life we use products that often have honey as an ingredient along with other ingredients. In this activity, students will explore the honey production process and how the bees collect the honey. We talked about bees and their community, the cooperation they have with each other and how important they are for the environment and humans.
Students will realise that honey may be used initially as food, giving us energy and strength and in a second stage can also be used in other products that we have at home, such as candles, hand creams, shampoos and soaps, and even perfumes. (apart from odour, honey as an ingredient).

Doel
- To raise awareness about the importance of honey
- To identify honey products in our daily lives
Co-creatie met de partner(s)
With students visit a honey producer and learn about honey production process
Implementatie
During the shared lunch, ask the students to discuss with groups of students about the impacts on health of consuming honey
Students in groups make cardboard honeycombs discussing the life of bees.
Use the discussion findings to collect products which include honey (students bring from home)
Reflectie
Ask feedback from the honey producer/beekeeper to improve product texture and appearance
Futurel Plans
Organise a fest in which students sell their honey products and earnings are donated to the local social grocery store
After developing the final version of guidelines for production (e.g., candles containing honey or recipes such as sesame bars with honey) students distribute it to the whole school community
