Hide AdSuzanne said: 'It was a pleasure to be invited into the school to talk to the children about bees and it felt like there was already a great atmosphere and a 'buzz in the school!'"
The pair help to raise money for bees by selling lots of goodies. Amanda has trained as a beekeeper and is helps to look after some bee hives in Ightenhill Park, Burnley.
Amanda added: "Every single teacher and child got involved with the assembly, with one young man throwing himself on top of the baby bees to keep them warm!'
