Well done Jaq. Lawley Village Academy pupils learning about the importance of bees on World Bee Day 🌍 🐝

Happy World Bee Day. Let’s take a moment to think about the amazing things our pollinators do. They pollinate our crops, crops to feed animals, the flowers and trees in our gardens and countryside. Not only do they provide food for our physical health they enhance places we can be one with nature and help our mental health. Remarkable for such a small creature.
