Nearly 100 kg of honey have been harvested in the presence of students and partners in the operation.
Faced with threats to bees, the Burgundy Regional Council has launched a program to educate the public about the vital role of bees and the need to act quickly for their protection.

The school-and-ad'ores already designed a curriculum around the hives: working groups of students plan to create a honey in an institution; science project testing the quality of honey in the middle Urban and peri-urban areas in particular. Eventually, a research program on behavioral analysis of pollinators should also emerge.
This complements the actions already in place as part of the contract inter-progress (CIP) Beekeeping in Burgundy. It demonstrates the commitment of the Burgundy region for beekeeping and preservation of biodiversity.
Hives should soon emerge in other institutions Burgundy: Auxerre (Lycée La Brosse), or Charolles Tournus.
