Finally a story about bees in the news that's fun to read

Mr Butchart, who teaches at the leading school, brought home the Bolton School Beekeeping Club hives ­— adding to the five he already had ­— so he could tend to them during lockdown.

And only in the past week, ten jars of honey from those hives have been donated to Urban Outreach which is preparing food packages for those families most in need during the Covid-19 crisis.

"It is a case of when an interest becomes an obsession ­— reading books about bees before bed," said Mr Butchart,"It's fascinating, watching bees ­­— it's like Game of Thrones ."

He said: "The honey has so much flavour, you taste the flowers. I know the bees here have been to Bradshaw Brook where there is Himalayan Balsam, and the honey has a peach taste to it."
