Observation of bee families
beekids, 15:59h
Winter farewell and spring came. The bees began to grow their breeds. Due to the warm weather, the fruit trees in the area have flourished, which is an excellent pasture for bees.
We regularly observe bee colonies to see how they evolve. Bee families are in excellent condition. Begins as the period of intensive pesticide spraying, so we will need to monitor the behaviour of bees even more intensively.

Pruning of the school's Old Vine 2018
beekids, 15:54h
Many people do not know that three vines that are grown on the school estate are something special. The city of Maribor donated three scions of the Old Vine to our school.
The Old Vine is pruned each year on the anniversary of the establishment of our school by Andrej Podjavoršek, a teacher of viticulture at our school, and Stane Kocutar, the city vinedresser.
On Sunday, March 11, a small group of people attended the pruning. When the work was done, we tried last year's wine from the old vines.
Everyone who was not present this year is invited to attend this event next year, on Monday, March 11, 2019.
