Pollinators
We visited Buncrana library today for a fun biodiversity workshop. The workshop was led by Cathal Ó Fearraigh who gave us an exciting talk on the remarkable role bees play in our ecosystem. Cathal showed us a beehive, the honeycomb and a bee-keeper’s suit. We learned lots about the importance of pollinators. Thanks to Cathal and also to Ursula and Jeanette in Buncrana Library for inviting us to visit.
