Why Do Bees Swarm ?

Why Do Bees Swarm ?


In a colney of bees there can be around 10,000 to 50,000 in a large size and around 1,000 to 2,000 in a average size. In one colney there is one queen and a colney can only fit one queen. When a new queen comes along the other queen takes some bees away and swarms. Queens need lots of reat and stop on a bush or branch.

These picturesare are swarm that were at our school.

Aims Blog Post

Last week I was part of the Multimeadia Aims team. We had to go to all of the events and film them for the Aims youtube channel.

It was great fun to see all of the New Zealand schools compete for the Aims Games winner title. We had 3 flip video cameras and each day we would film then edit and upload to the channel.

The highlight of filming the Aims Games was to be able to go around all of the sports and do what I really enjoy, filming.

We had to get up at 7 in the morning to be a school by 10 to 8. Lara and my Teacher we filming to and we all had lots of fun. We also got hot chocolate most morning, they were delisous.

The Main sponcers were:

• Kiwi Yo
• Sport BOP
• NZCT
• ASB
• Tauranga City
• TECT
• Somke free
• Logo tech
• Photo life

SPCA Assembly

Today in Block 2 we went up to the gym and sat down as a school to listen and learn all about the SPCA. The hosts were Norm Hewitt and Whaea Shelly. 

The 5 freedoms we learned about were:

1. Shelter
2. Food and Water
3. Exercise
4. Love
5. Vet Care

Also the main points we were learning about were:

• Dreams can com true
• Treat animals how you want to be treated
• Treat and respect animals and to treat and respect people.

Norm Hewitt when he was a kid loved three main things, they were:

• Cowboys
• Fish and Chips
• Rugby

When Norm was younger his father beat his 6 sisters and brothers hard and espically his mother who was somewhat unregnieable after she was beaten.

I enjoyed listen and learning all about the SPCA and my pets and also the 5 freedoms !
