In celebration of World Bee Day today, Kevin Cook from our International Special Interest Group has produced a free presentation to help schools develop awareness of beekeeping and celebrate.

It features the Hospicio Santa Maria in Guatemala, where Sister Dee keeps honey to supplement the diet of her patients and to sell to raise funds.

So happy to see @YujingHe_GEO has published this article! I wonder if we can have a joint event to discuss this paper with GERSIG @SusanJPike and @GA_ISIG @GeogMum

The study gets inspired from many authors we are familiar with, including @geography_DAF (the GA President 23-24)

Fancying a bit of a geog hol this summer? @The_GA study tour heads to The Azores this summer! Still some spaces available.

Had the pleasure getting to know @flooglebinderUK within our @GA_ISIG meetings and the thought that goes into these trips is incredible. Great for CPD!

[Catherine Owen @GeogMum]

Great to meet with @GA_ISIG today - we were joined by Josh & Kesienna from @ERAresources - lots to think about! @The_GA

[Catherine Owen @GeogMum]

Great to hear from Josh and Kesienna from @ERAresources at the @GA_ISIG meeting on Saturday. This service is free for most educators in England & the ‘request a clip’ service is fab! Delighted that 117 requests for video clips followed my previous post!

[Meg Picken🌍 @PickenGeog]

Great meeting, I always come away with so many new ideas. Can’t wait to get my teeth stuck into making some more resources for @The_GA this year!
