Primary Science Fair: ‘I’ve seen their interest grow in science and nature’

A school in West Cork is playing a major role in helping to reverse the decline in the local bee population. 

The project was one of a number of exhibits at the opening of RDS Primary Science Fair in Dublin yesterday. The fair runs alongside the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.

Principal of Ardfield National School in Clonakilty, Orla Whelton, said the pupils were concerned about the declining bee population and felt that they could improve their habitat.
