More than 115 local primary school students aged between five and 11 years old are due to take part in a competition run by Fort Kinnaird to design a label for the jars of honey produced by its resident beehives.<\/p>\n
The centre has teamed up with Niddrie Mill Primary School to host the contest, with pupils tasked with creating a label for the 100 jars of honey created by the beehives located in the service area.<\/p>\n
Students are encouraged to put their creativity to the test, with the winner set to win a \u00a3100 voucher to spend at Fort Kinnaird and a \u00a320 gift card for five runners up.<\/p>\n
The competition follows pupils from Niddrie Mill visiting the beehives at Fort Kinnaird back in June, during which they learned all about the world of bees \u2013 including how they are essential to the local environment, how hives function, and what it takes to care for bees first-hand.\u202f<\/p>\n
Fort Kinnaird runs the beehives in partnership with Colin Mackie, a local beekeeper who has tended to the beehives since they were established in May 2024.<\/p>\n
Liam Smith, centre director at Fort Kinnaird, said: \u201cSince our beehives were installed back in May 2024, they\u2019ve provided fun and educational opportunities for our community and nearby schools like Niddrie Mill, while the centre\u2019s wildflower areas support biodiversity by creating habitat for pollinators.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to be continuing this with the competition and can\u2019t wait to see all the designs the pupils of Niddrie Mill create \u2013 bringing to life the importance and impact of bees on our local environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
