RESIDENTS and staff at RMBI Care Co. Homes enjoyed a week of bee-themed activities to mark World Bee Day.
At Prince George Duke of Kent Court, in Chislehurst, residents gathered recycled materials to design and create a huge beehive and enjoyed a honey tasting session.
Activities coordinator Diane Connor said: “We’re always keen to involve both residents and staff in our activities; this helps to raise spirits and creates a buzz around the care home.
“We learned a lot about bees through these different activities and how important they are for the future of our planet.”
Meanwhile at Shannon Court, in Hindhead, Surrey, residents planted seeds to create a wild garden to attract bees, and they enjoyed creating bee-decorated mobiles using natural materials such as wood, string and pine cones.
At Queen Elizabeth Court in Llandudno, residents and staff invited a local beekeeper to the Home. They had the opportunity to see a beehive up close and learned about the different varieties of bees and their jobs in the hive.
World Bee Day was created to raise awareness of the importance of bees and other pollinators, the threats they face, and their contribution to a sustainable environment.
