STUDENTS at the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA) had a sweet start to their Friday morning as they harvested the second batch of honey from the school’s apiary. Guided by experienced instructor and beekeeper, Mr. Linden Stewart, the students carefully extracted the honey, marking an important milestone in their agricultural education.
The initiative, which forms part of the institution’s practical training in apiculture, highlights GSA’s dedication to providing hands-on learning experiences. Through this exercise, students gain valuable insights into beekeeping, honey production, and the broader principles of sustainable agriculture.
Mr. Stewart emphasised that the activity was not just about harvesting honey but also about understanding the essential role bees play in the ecosystem.
GSA has long been recognised as a leader in agricultural education in Guyana, equipping students with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The school’s apiary project is one of many initiatives designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world agricultural practices.
With this latest honey harvest, students have reinforced their understanding of sustainable farming techniques while reaping the sweet rewards of their labour. Their enthusiasm and dedication signal a bright future for the next generation of agricultural professionals in Guyana.
