Over the last couple of months I have read a lot about all the BIG BEE deals especially in South Africa. So whats the Big deal? It’s fair to say it’s all about the money, honey!
I facilitated a massive BEE deal with a difference, BEE threatened the safety of the children, staff and parents at Growth Through Knowledge School for Autistic Learners in Table View.
The staff advised me of some intrusive and unwelcome “squatters” moving in to our school and I took decisive action, to remove them with professional assistance.
The invasion turned in to education, with a sensory learning experience for the children and staff. The children investigated the delicate construction and structure of bees wax forming the comb through touching & feeling. The surprise of licking the sweet honey directly from the comb,which I admit was my first time to.
The photo’s of the kids will not be published by the request of the parents.
Up close and personal with honey:
How many human engineers will it take to construct?
Protecting the brood
I love BEE, our children and staff got the sweetest deal ever from nature. Nature is making a difference to the lives of our children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder.
AUTISM – A PART OF OUR WORLD NOT A WORLD APART

Jaydee, thank you forthe request. The first stop would be a social worker in you area to assist you as a family dealing with the Department of Health and to work in partnership to find the correct support structure for your family. It would be your duty to fight for what is in the best interest of your son. Please contact me on gerhard@autismwesterncape.org.za
