Dartford kids were given a beekeeping masterclass when professionals Kelly Walder and Barry Adams came to visit.

Temple Hill Community Primary School played host to the duo - who gave an interactive nature talk.

Buzzy beekeeper Mr Adams said: "I was impressed by the reaction I had from the children.

"It was a great opportunity to demonstrate the wonder of bees, and how important they are to our planet.

"Establishing an enthusiasm for bees from an early age is an excellent way of helping to protect their existence for future generations.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to highlight the work I do."
