Mele - A Sweet Business.

Today TWP 4 and I are reading a book called A Sweet Business, this book is about when Matin a beehive man came and visited Te Aro school because he thought that it will be a good idea to give them beehives of their own,The students also talked about hives. Like Langstroth, they were keen to try a top-bar hive. After a few harvests, they would be able to compare the results. “It’s a good idea,” said Justin. “More honey means more income, but buying a second hive will be a big expense.The big question is: Would the students receive enough money in their first year to cover essential costs and repay their loan from the school? There were two important things to consider. How much honey would the bees produce, and how much koha might people give?. Martin said "to expect a harvest of around 40 kilograms. Together with Justin, the students did the maths. If parents gave five dollars for a 250-gram jar of honey, this would be twenty dollars per kilogram – eight hundred dollars in total. That was the story, i think that this story is about motivation and how they will never ever give up. Check out my Activity below
